Hallo, Thomas Grill hat gesagt: // Thomas Grill wrote:
my vote is for object, although it's technically incorrect. Thinking of my course next semester, i guess i would have a hard time
explaining the class/object difference to the students, most of who
have no programming experience at all. I tend to think that for pd this differentiation is not really an
issue outside external programming (which isn't targetted in this
discussion).
This is a "me too"-message from me: For the same reasons as Thomas I'd prefer to stick with "object". While "class" is more correct, I think the difference is something only computer scientists are interested in and Pd has a tradition of not always following the path of mainstream computer science anyway, because it's not a tool mainly targetting computer scientists but one targetting artists. I'd say,, reserve the term class for pd-dev.
