Over the last couple of decades, different programming paradigms have emerged in an attempt to make software better. Different situations demand different requirements, so it wouldn’t be fair to say that one paradigm is better than the other. Whenever you want to create a software system, you usually write code that attempts to fulfill most of the requirements. Now the difference between these paradigms is the way in which you write your code. On one end of the spectrum, we have object oriented programming. The world revolves around pieces of data here and functionalities are attached to them. On the other end of the spectrum, we have data oriented programming. In this paradigm, everything is just data. How does that work? What exactly is this spectrum and how do we understand it?   Continue reading “Programming Paradigms: Object Oriented vs Data Oriented” →
