Chapter 3. Topologies of Action-Oriented Versus Object-Oriented Applications
Differences in Application Topologies
It is very helpful to think of object-oriented software development as the next logical step in removing the details of the machine away from software developers. However, a learning curve is associated with this removal of details, due mostly to the different topology that the object-oriented paradigm enforces on the software development process.
