In this upcoming Agile Yorkshire session, Alan Dean will lead a discussion into a thought-provoking question: Have we got object-orientation all wrong? Drawing from David West's book, Object Thinking (ISBN 0-7356-1965-4), Alan will lead us in exploring the assertion that traditional object-oriented approaches may not be as effective as we’ve been led to believe.

Alan will guide us through West's ideas on "Object Thinking," which challenges the conventional understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) by introducing a more intuitive, human-centric view of how objects should behave. He’ll demonstrate how self-describing objects and self-evaluating rules can lead to a more flexible, dynamic approach to software design. Alan will also showcase real code examples to bring these concepts to life, giving you practical insight into how to implement this new way of thinking within your own development practices.

This session will be both informative and interactive, encouraging open discussion about the traditional object-oriented paradigm and how it may be limiting the way we think about software design. Come prepared to challenge your assumptions about object-orientation and explore a fresh perspective that could change the way you approach coding and system design.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from an experienced practitioner and delve into one of the most provocative ideas in software development!
