I would like to learn more about such methodology, and if you (or any one else can point out those methodologies, are they used in industry, what kind of application? The neture of the development infra-structure? Are there none-Object Oriented methods. What is the minimum support needed form the development environment/programming language. And that leads me to enquire about Object Oriented methods that are used in practice and about practical experience in developing OO software in today's industry.
