Everything's OO these days. Old news. Okay, pop quiz, hot shot: What's an accessor? What are the distinctions between a class, an object, and an instance? What do Protected, Public, Interface, and Implements mean? If you finding you're as fuzzy on the details as I am, drop in on the SLUG and get a quick orientation lesson in object orientation. Rob will use Python, Zope, and/or Twisted as demonstration material, since those are what made him realize this terminology stuff is often overlooked. Maybe we will finally find out the answer to that eternal question: “What is a protected abstract virtual base pure virtual private destructor?"[2] [1] Unless, as he puts it, Rob comes up with a better idea before then. [2] Old joke about C++, commonly attributed to Tom Cargill === About SLUG === SLUG is the Seacoast Linux User Group, and is a chapter of GNHLUG, the Greater NH Linux User Group.
