I have a suggestion for a new OOP term: Buncha Crap. I was trying to describe how an Assign fired off a lot of other method calls and the phrase just seemed perfect.
So, I suggest this new term.
In conversation........
Q: "What happens when I click on the Grid?"
A: "Several events, and then a method is fired...ohhh...Buncha Crap."
In documentation.........
Replace:
Visual FoxPro forms fire events in the order Load, Init, Show, Activate, and GotFocus. A convenient mnemonic is LISAG.
With:
When Visual FoxPro forms are opened, a Buncha Crap happens. Fuggedaboutit.
