Collection Framework


Cover the history of Collections frameworks back to the late 1970s or early 1980s, and how they were retrofitted to various languages. Discuss the advantage of a standard Collections framework (e.g., Java) vs. several competing frameworks (e.g., C++), and the advantage of collections built into the language (e.g., Ruby) vs. collections as class libraries. Give examples to illustrate the advantages you identify.
