nice class hi there i don't have a cite for the nice class concept to be frank the only place where i saw people reffering to that concept and also the very nice class concept was in a couple of c related usenet groups where the concept is usually used as a general guideline for class creation on the other hand my only interest in object oriented programming is purely recreational it's a small hobby and therefore i feel that i'm not in a position to make big academic statements on this subject so thanks to your message i realized that not only the references to the subject are scarse but also that it isn't widelly used therefore i believe that this article may be entitled to a original research label if you decide to mark the article for deletion it will be fine by me and i will not object hope this helps talk
