The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
Now there's some meat.
Thanks for those Jon. Made me laugh.
Reading that I thought it felt kind of like the purist view of database design and trying to get to 5th Normal Form in a database design.
Fine in thoery, but in practice, you maybe get to 2nd, 3rd or 4th normal form.
In terms of re-usable objects I typically think of RPG service programs, Java JAR files, PHP classes, .Net assemblies and web services which are all the concept of having similar code callable via an API which may contain objects internally but makes a developers life easier by bottling re-usable processes. And hopefully it's documented 😊
Possibly some inheritence, but generally implementing some specific functionality that can be used across programs saving a programmer lots of time.
Only thing that really matters is testing the re-usable code, documenting the code and its usage and making sure a developer knows how to apply the re-usable code in a production app.
That applies to any language.
My three cents.

Just curious since your statement seems pretty generic.
