OOP is like using a knife.
If you do not know how to use it, you will cut yourself. But if you know, you will complete your cutting job smoothly.

I got to know about OOP while using Clipper 5 in using TBrowse. Though I liked the idea I had lots of problem in handling and understanding it. At present, XBase++ also uses OOP extensively, so I had to get in depth of it.

Now I mostly use OOP in my development and can say it increased my efficiency. The entire flagship product of our company is based on OOP and is developed and maintained by yours truly alone.

Thanks to OOP I am able to accomplish it :)

Anand

Hello Anand,

Thanks for your observation and the nice words!

Thank you Grigory.

Yes, my report class viewtopic.php?p=51251#p51251 is also based on OPP (Class Y of Clipper).
