[edit] Origin of the name
What does this law have to do with Demeter? -- Smerdis of Tlön 18:08, 8 Apr 2004 (UTC)
(Inserted quote from Wikipedia:Featured article removal candidates/Law of Demeter):
Not voting, just info for Smerdis: it's named for the Demeter Project, during which it was formulated. The Demeter Project was so named because it was trying to develop software methodolgies which "grew" organically, and Demeter is the goddess of agriculture. Securiger 09:19, 12 May 2004 (UTC)
For the curious. Shinobu 18:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] What does this mean?
No further work has been conducted using the Law since 1996. However, it is still taught in less up-to-date computer science curriculums.
What is the intended meaning of these two sentences? Shinobu 18:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- Shinobu, we have to talk. 134.106.199.22 15:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Surely this "law" (I'd call it a principle) is older than 1987? In my opinion, this is what all "good" object-oriented systems strive toward. MagnusW 11:36, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
