Moving from Procedural to Object-Oriented Development
Now that we have a general understanding about some of the differences about procedural and object-oriented technologies, let's delve a bit deeper into both.
Procedural Programming
Procedural programming separates the data of the program from the operations that manipulate the data. For example, if you want to send information across a network, only the relevant data is sent (see Figure 1.4), with the expectation that the program at the other end of the network pipe knows what to do with it.
