LOL. Funny, however, the military people who work in IT seem to have no trouble appreciating OO. I find it rather fascinating (and comforting) that the high-level US military people my company deals with are profoundly intelligent in terms of OO. We've never had to "prove" the fundamentals. We've only had to prove the results.
YMMV :-)

The military definitely want a formal project management capability, but I've never met a military IT person who wasn't intimate with the need for (and difficulties with) flexibility.

Any other experience to share with us, Bryce :-? Who put in all these newsgroups anyway? Added noise. Sorry. Bryce is our comp.object "cross to bear". Received on Sun Jul 08 2001 - 07:52:28 CEST
