Abstract

In this paper we examine how trends in programming methodology support the definition of value types. We ask the question have we really advanced in the move from traditional to OO methodologies, have we produced square wheels, or have we just changed terminology? We ask this to determine what we should be teaching our students. The work was motivated by a concern that students, through what is, or is not, taught, are missing or rejecting the lessons of history and producing poorer designs because of this.
