Re: OO came from industry
OK so I need to recognise that it is more than twenty years since I left uni.
Its true that by 1996 java was being taught in academia and the commercial world were singing the same thing, and some were lucky to get some Haskell. But a little earlier at uni, in 1993 / 1994 we were doing C, and modula-2 with its exciting new 'modules' - OO was a rumour. I suppose a pedant could argue that with OO was invented in the commercial world with SmallTalk at Xerox.
TBH, Andrew seems to be talking more about small chunks of software than the fine detail objects. And on that basis, if you let a small chunk talk over a http port I'd say you've got a microservice. the hype just continues.
Thanks so much for the Simon PJ video, just fantastic :)
