ABSTRACT

Object-orientation continues to find a home in computing curricula, especially in early courses such as CS1. As this trend continues, some ideas seem to take on a life of their own, despite being fundamentally incorrect. Unfortunately they propagate most quickly among those who are relatively new to the ideas of object-oriented development. This paper enumerates and debates the underlying issues of several myths regarding object-orientation and its pedagogy.
