In addition, find 4 to 6 more sites or references promoting or critiquing OOA,D,P Group is to produce an (at least) three page paper.  Part one of the paper will list some of the different languages being used for OOP and describe advantages and disadvantages.  Part two of the paper will summarize the pros and cons of the OOP approach and end with support for one side or another.  {This paper will be reviewed by peers in the future so type legibly.}

 

Paper will be double spaced.  Use word or wordperfect.  References must be listed on bottom.  All direct quotes from books must be quoted.  If you state a fact from a book you must cite (footnote or in parens) where you got it.
