In programming languages, encapsulation is used to refer to one of two related but distinct notions, and sometimes to the combination thereof: * A language mechanism for restricting direct access to some of the object's components.

Prototype-based programming is a style of object-oriented programming in which behaviour reuse (known as inheritance) is performed via a process of reusing existing objects via delegation that serve as prototypes.

In computer science, an object type (a.k.a. wrapping object) is a datatype which is used in object-oriented programming to wrap a non-object type to make it look like a dynamic object.

In programming languages, an abstract type is a type in a nominative type system that cannot be instantiated directly.

In object-oriented programming, inheritance is when an object or class is based on another object (prototypal inheritance) or class (class-based inheritance), using the same implementation (inheriting from an object or class) or specifying a new implementation to maintain the same behavior (realizing an interface; inheriting behavior; programming by difference).

In object-oriented programming, delegation refers to evaluating a member (property or method) of one object (the receiver) in the context of another, original object (the sender).

General responsibility assignment software patterns (or principles), abbreviated GRASP, consist of guidelines for assigning responsibility to classes and objects in object-oriented design.

NHibernate is an object-relational mapping (ORM) solution for the Microsoft .

In computer science, information hiding is the principle of segregation of the design decisions in a computer program that are most likely to change, thus protecting other parts of the program from extensive modification if the design decision is changed.

Microsoft Interface Definition Language (MIDL) is a text-based interface description language by Microsoft, based on the DCE/RPC IDL which it extends for use with the Microsoft Component Object Model.

Wolfram SystemModeler, developed by Wolfram MathCore, is a platform for engineering as well as life science modeling and simulation based on the Modelica language.

The Internet Communications Engine, or Ice, is an open source RPC framework developed by ZeroC.

In class-based object-oriented programming languages, a leaf class is a class that should not be subclassed.

OOPSLA (Object-Oriented Programming, Systems, Languages & Applications) is an annual ACM research conference.

In object-oriented design, a layer is a group of classes that have the same set of link-time module dependencies to other modules.

In computer science, polymorphic recursion (also referred to as Milner–Mycroft typability or the Milner–Mycroft calculus) refers to a recursive parametrically polymorphic function where the type parameter changes with each recursive invocation made instead of staying constant.

In object-oriented programming, finalization is the process of preparing an object for deallocation; strictly speaking, finalization is all parts of object destruction until memory deallocation itself.

Jeroo is a cross-platform educational tool for learning object oriented programming concepts.

In programming languages and type theory, polymorphism (from Greek πολύς, polys, "many, much" and μορφή, morphē, "form, shape") is the provision of a single interface to entities of different types.

Several object binding times exist in object oriented systems.

LYMB is an object-oriented development environment aimed at developing applications that require combining graphics-based user interfaces, visualization, and rapid prototyping.

Object-Oriented Software Construction is a book by Bertrand Meyer, widely considered a foundational text of object-oriented programming.

In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software.

Franca Interface Definition Language (Franca IDL) is a formally defined, text-based interface description language.

In object-oriented programming, a protocol or interface is a common means for unrelated objects to communicate with each other.

QP (Quantum Platform) is a family of lightweight, open source software frameworks for building responsive and modular real-time embedded applications as systems of cooperating, event-driven active objects (actors).

In object-oriented programming with classes, an instance variable is a variable defined in a class (i.e. a member variable), for which each instantiated object of the class has a separate copy, or instance.

Albatrossis a general purpose programming language which can be verified statically.

OpenModelica is a free and open source environment based on the modelica modeling language for modeling, simulating, optimizing and analyzing complex dynamic systems.

In object-oriented programming with classes, a class variable is a variable defined in a class of which a single copy exists, regardless of how many instances of the class exist.

Class-based programming, or more commonly class-orientation, is a style of object-oriented programming (OOP) in which inheritance is achieved by defining classes of objects, as opposed to the objects themselves (compare prototype-based programming).
