"Using OPO (Other People’s Objects)" Oh boy! Who is Jon Paris, and what is this article? It's as if somebody was writing about python circa 1997.

Very odd. It's like somebody's been hiding in a cave since 1995 and just discovered python, object-oriented programming and HTTP.

He's previously been writing RPG for the AS/400. That's pretty much exactly like living in a cave since 1975.

Yes. Check your local job listings.

Why? Never underestimate the inertia of a working legacy system.
