Object? You Keep Using that Word

Presented at Dynabyte (13th April 2016) I do not think it means what you think it means. What object means to many programmers is managers, views, controllers, getters and setters, megalithic frameworks, spaghetti inheritance, lots of mocks and large classes. But is this what object-oriented development is really about? The original vision of objects was focused more on the problem domain than the solution domain. Objects were supposed to be small, properly encapsulated abstractions composed from other objects. Classes were a mechanism for expressing objects, not the editing black hole of the development process. Think you know objects? This talk strips back the layers of habits, frameworks and legacy to cast objects in a new but old light.
