Back in the early '90s when I got started with OOPs - there were a few object-oriented methodologies (or compilers!). Grady Booch ruled with his classic text on Object-oriented Analysis and Design. There was one approach to object-oriented development that was both pedagogical and developmental (for small projects) - CRC Cards. I recall a CRC tool written in MacApp that layed out the relevant classes and generated the class definition in C++ (or Object Pascal). CRC is not mentioned much anymore - too bad, it was a terrific way to learn about object-oriented thinking and design.

Groove Networks plans to begin testing on Monday a new version of its software that aims to help mobile workers collaborate on projects and ties the company closer to Microsoft. [at ZDNet].

More on the Groove Dev Conference at the Groove corporate blog. I just saw Groove running on a PocketPC via PopG services. It was running InfoPatterns' GIS tool - this is an awesome combination with tremendous possibilities.
