Software Development The Way GOD Does It

Written by: Matthew Jenkinson

Article Overview: In the beginning God created the universe and filled it with objects. He gave each object a set of attributes and placed it in a particular location in the universe where it occupies some space. Each object has been given the ability to do some stuff and communicate with other objects around it by sending and receiving messages. An object is able to do some stuff by itself (including create other objects) but for other stuff it needs to send messages to other objects asking for help. And some stuff it can only do if it's asked to by other objects.

Software Development The Way GOD Does It

When we develop computer software we're attempting to create a dynamic model inside the physical memory chips and disk drives of our computer or network that accurately reflects a particular scenario. For example when we create business software we normally represent a customer using various attributes such as name, address and contact information. These items of data are stored somewhere on the disk and loaded into memory or transferred across the network as necessary by our computer program.

Because the computer hardware only knows about binary data and nothing at all about customers it's up to the computer programmer using a computer language to describe how a customer will be represented using binary data. There are numerous ways to do this but the most effective method yet devised is to represent customers and other business entities as "objects" using an "object-oriented" computer language.

This object-oriented technique bears a remarkable similarity to the way God created the universe. In the material universe God made everything out of some basic elements we call "atoms." Each atom is like a single binary digit or bit of data by itself that exists in isolation. It is only in relationship to the other atoms in the universe that God created a variety of meaningful objects to do some stuff, interact with each other and fulfil the purpose for which they were created.

The development of object-oriented software is our attempt with our limited minds to mimic what we see our Creator doing with His unlimited Mind and total comprehension of the universe. We can therefore gain an advantage by asking Him how He would have us do it. And if we haven't done so already there may still be time for us to make a FRESH START!

Ultimately whatever you are comfortable with and good luck for the future, Mal.
BDC - [quote="IWDCanada":jib6tqt9]I think if you try to do business in the Maritimes the Business Development Bank of Canada might be able to provide grants.[/quote:jib6tqt9] On that note, does anybody have any experiences with the Business Development Bank of Canada that they would like to share? I have been considering approaching them for a business loan.

I have been considering approaching them for a business loan.[/quote:255lkmrn] I'll be working with the BDC later this month on a few projects. From what i've been told they are really great when it comes to small business. Their loans have a little higher interest but their payment terms are a lot easier to swallow. I can give you a contact if you need.
Re: what position to request? - Business Development Manager - is more or less ok... thank you. but I want something fancier... an executive position..
