I went to a seminar at the embedded systems conference in 95 and listened to
Dan Saks speak. He was talking about the difference between object oriented
programming and structured programming.
He explained that with structured programming all variables and functions
are global and with object oriented programming functions and variables had
a well defined scope.
What a crock!
My conclusion: take anything you hear from Dan Saks with a grain of salt.
