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.
I agree OO and frameworks should be the end goal because they allow you
to be so much more productive then procedural coding.
In my experience procedural coding can be done in any language including
Smalltalk, Java, C++, and PHP. I've seen entire programs written in a
single method (IE... public static main... or Servlet's doGet)
Procedural works well as folks learn a new language. You can have
standalone code segments that you study and learn from start to end.
After folks code procedurally, they will always find that they are
coding the same type of coding/logic over and over and over again
(persistence, UI, data validation, user security, etc) and this will
start to push them towards OO and frameworks.
I personally don't think the industry has done a good job of
communicating/educating the significant value of OO/frameworks has over
procedural.
