What is Java 2? Is it cool? Maybe I should go to the Sun site and check it out?
I personally dislike OOP -- I feel like it takes control away from me... in any case I think it's good for a new programmer to understand why OOP is necessary in the first place... then they may be less likely to use it ;)
I'm pretty sure that OOP does not produce more efficient programs -- as you have a lot of useless code that is in place with the intent of making the programming process simpler... but in reality only very large systems benefit from OOP's "ease of use" -- how many people are really building objects from scratch? I'd guess that most programmers today use other people's objects -- you spend all your time leaning to jump through someone elses hoops to get something done -- and you end up with a lot of code that is completely unnecessary -- I'd rather solve the problems myself. Reinventing the wheel is not only more fun but your code is more efficient and is focused on the task at hand. When you need to make changes to your program -- you won't be spending so much time reading somebody else's sloppy, cryptic, or incomplete documentation.
