Why do I use Object Oriented Programming

Published on February 3, 2010 by Ben Mills Read full entry...

A few weeks ago I was asked what I thought was a very easy question, why do I use object oriented programming (OOP)? My immediate answer was "to keep my code clean and easy to update". But I realized that I was just repeating what I have been heard in my programming classes and various other programming contacts, I had not really thought through the use of OOP myself.

About

I am a Chicago based web developer about to graduate college from Columbia who also likes to dabble in UI design. I enjoy building all kinds of web applications in all types of languages. When coding I try to follow the DRY philosophy as best I can as well as making my web sites as semantic as possible. More about me.
