I agree with Joel's position wholeheartedly. I've read Robert Martin's book "Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices". Referring to the book, which demonstrates the SOLID principles, it's not that you can't do it that way and be successful, it's that a pure object oriented approach is not necessarily the best approach to building every kind of application. He says in his book regarding an example implementation of a payroll system, that we are paid to create "behaviors". I disagree.

…mple of applying it in software/Web development with PHP/Java/RoR/... From my experience, I found helpful next books: "Test Driven Development: By Example" by Kent Beck "Agile Software Development, Principles, Patterns, and Practices" by Robert C.

Helpful to understand the idea. And the authors are respected and well known in the community of agile developers.

But it does give a good overview of practical us…
