Probably depends on your application. You may also see slower construction time if you are creating thousands of objects. I think which to use depends on whether you believe private methods/variables are helpful or not. Some argue they are

That's called a "privileged method". The advantage of those is that they can access any private variables from the constructor, and they keep those variables in scope for their lifetime. The disadvantage however, is that the method is re-cr

Hi jrmg, thanks for the great feedback. I initially wanted Wallboardr to be a fairly free-form board that wasn't specific to any industry, but as it developed I thought that approach was lacking in power for my primary audience which was de
