We have: Object Oriented, Aspect Oriented, Subject Oriented, Role Oriented, Component Oriented, Ontology Oriented, Market Oriented, Attribute Oriented, Declarative-Event Oriented, Concept Oriented, Concurrency Oriented, Business Oriented, Taskflow Oriented, Situation Oriented, Agent Oriented, Rule Oriented, Mathematical Oriented, Feature Oriented, Interaction Oriented, Pattern Oriented, and Table Oriented ... Programming (list non-exhaustive). And that's just the "Oriented" Oriented orientations.

Feeling a little Dis-Oriented? What's hype and what's tripe? Which is Ivory Tower and which is porcelain throne? I hate to be anachronistic, but sometimes so much of what I hear and read today strikes me as just so much hooey. I'm not longing for the good ol' days (were there any?), and I don't think I'm suffering information overload (in fact, there seems to be a paucity of real *information* amidst the hype and conceptual diarhea). Is it just me or has the programming of models taken a backseat to the modelling of programming?
