>> "I disagree Jon. I think it is easier to just dive in to the OO concepts and "learn to swim". However, I agree that the gradual migration across the ILE facilities smooths out the "down time" over a longer period by allowing developers to still remain productive while picking up new concepts. This should be easier for the stock holders to swallow." << I think we agree in practical terms Chris, as you note in the second part of your note, those faced with a river full of aligators may find it less painful to learn to swim in the backyard pool before diving in completely. If you can spare the 3 to 6 months it takes most people to unlearn all they know about designing and coding in a procedural world, then "diving in" works fine. My experience has been that most people don't have that sort of time. Of course some are lucky and just tended to design in an OO fashion anyway (even if they didn't know that's what they were doing!)
