My guess is that object-oriented programming will be in the 1980s what structured programming will be in 1970s. Everyone will be in favor of it. Every manufacturer will promote his products as supporting it. Every manager will pay lip service to it. Every programmer will practice it (differently). And no one will know just what it is.
T. Rentsch
The more I read these words, the more I’m convinced this is one of the more accurate prediction I’ve heard about in programming. I feel it so… real.

Quotes
The degree of coupling refers to the strength of a connection between two routines. Coupling is a complement to cohesion. Cohesion describes how strongly the internal contents of a routine are related to each other. Coupling describes how strongly a routine is related to other routines. The goal is to create routines with internal integrity (stong cohesion) and small, direct, visible, and flexible relations to other routines (loose coupling).
Steve McConnell, Code Complete (1993).
