I'm teaching someone some basic Java and now we're at the part where I have to explain objects and classes. I've tried explaining OOP concepts such as "cat" is a class and Mr. Whiskers is an instance of class cat. She still has trouble understanding it.

tl;dr How would you explain OOP to a beginner?

A class is like an architect's blueprint for a house.
An object is the house or houses he builds with it.

If she doesn't get that, it's time to get back in the kitchen.

>I've tried explaining OOP concepts such as "cat" is a class and Mr. Whiskers is an instance of class cat. She still has trouble understanding it.
It's very simple. One -the class- is the blueprint, it lives on the HDD/SSD.

The other -the object- is the constructed house, it lives in RAM.

The idea is that you can make many houses off one blueprint if necessary.

The difference to real life is that in the object, you can only change things in variables, you can't really add anything new to them directly.
>>
>>48008659
Wikipedia defines classes as "a class is an extensible program-code-template for creating objects, providing initial values for state (member variables) and implementations of behavior (member functions, methods).".
While structs theoretically allow for "implementations of behaviour", structs do not inherently have "implementations of behaviour".
It's more or less a hack.
I wouldn't say that all structs are classes, only those with function pointers.

That's not how it works. When there's more good coders, the industry expands faster. Everyone does better. There's no shortage of coders, there's a shortage of good coders. If you're in any way half decent at programming you'll have no problem landing a job these days, at any time in the past few decades.

>the problem is if as programming becomes available to everyone, then everyone who learns how to program and makes an "app" or whatever, then goes to think they are programmers could do it in a professional environment and that they don't actually need experience or an actual education in the field to know what they are doing

That's already happened. Just ask all the nitwits who learned to "code" html. As for complete tools thinking they're programmers, the industry is full of them. They don't understand proper OO, design patterns, proper database design, best practices, source control, you name it. They think that if it runs, they're professionals.

Hey /g/

Looking through the specifications, I can't really find a difference between these two cards.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127850

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127832

Same size, same power consumption, same type of memory, same frequencies, etc. So what makes the other $10 more?
>>
>>48008626
It's red. And has GAMING in the title.

You're paying $10 for MLG cred.
>>
>>48008638

Yeah that's what I was afraid of. It has some really weird reviews attached to it too.

I mean, technically the first card is more expensive but it's on 'sale' at the moment. Looks like a more solid option as well. Just wondering if I missed anything.

The green one is cheaper because it's ugly as fuck. It's identical to the regular version otherwise, except for the fact that it has a backplate, whilst the normal one doesn't.

Drivers can sometimes suck with any hardware, beyond videocards.

How long has the driver meme been going on with nerds having issues with ATI/AMD drivers more frequently? Was this going on in 2001 with green team claiming superior drivers?

Neither will have drivers which support any modern OS.

I just like to have my stuff organized and separated, e.g. by having separated devices like computer and phone.
