Object-oriented design promises many things: faster development time, easier maintenance, programs that actually solve real users' problems. Though many companies like the idea of OO, few of them are able to implement these ideas effectively. We'll start this talk with a quick discussion of the OO process, from requirements gathering through to coding. We'll then discuss the special needs of an OO shop, and the impediments to implementing this process effectively in the workplace.
