Object-Oriented Methodology

In this report we will treat visual object-oriented programming and literate object-oriented programming. An introduction to object-oriented programming is followed by an introduction to visual and literate programming. We will also discuss both visual and literate programming from the object-oriented point of view. The basic concepts of the object-oriented technology gives a more concrete way of thinking about entities and their relationships, where objects act on each other through methods. Object-oriented programming explicitly provides more powerful facilities for understanding such as polymorphism, inheritance and abstract classes. Visual object-oriented programming is programming that combines both object-oriented and visual programming techniques. It can be used in two distinct contexts, either the use of an object-oriented language that has a visual syntax or to use an environment with graphical tools to manipulate programs written in a textual object-oriented language. The idea of literate object-oriented programming is to make programs as readable as ordinary literature. The primary goal is not just to get an executable program but also to get a description of a problem and its solution.
