4.1. Events Drive Object Collaboration

At its simplest, the process of OO software development involves the following:

  • Properly establishing the functional requirements for, and overall mission of, an application

  • Designing the appropriate classes necessary to fulfill the requirements and mission

  • Instantiating the classes to create objects

  • Setting the objects in motion through internal and/or external triggering events

Think of an anthill: at first glance, you may see no apparent activity taking place. But if you drop an ice cream cone nearby, a flurry of activity suddenly begins as ants rush around to gather up the "goodies," as well as to repair any damage that may have been caused if you dropped the ice cream cone too close to the anthill!
