    But how do you really feel about InstallShield? :)

    You can lead a developer to CodeProject, but you can't make them think.

        Well I suppose I could repeat the process I used to make a X| of X| 's to be 3 levels deep; but even if it didn't make your browser choke you'd almost need a 40k screen to see it all. :doh:

        Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                C# is great, VB.NET not so much as I may as well slash £100 a day off my rate. Same for ASP.NET :(

                Any exposure-only technology. For example I mentioned 'familiarisation' with Ruby or Java, and suddenly I get pr**ks trying to recruit me to Ruby On Rails 'guru' jobs or Java architect positions. Bloody dim-witted CV robots, written by naive programmers who haven't a clue what a Rule-Based System is. And don't get me started on 'Active' advertising that tries to sell you what you just bought.

                  I have a day off and I wanted to have a nice day, but it's ruined now that I had to think of this so I might as well post it... Crystal Reports. I'll curl up in a corner and cry now.

                        I love writing code and especially creating UIs. It's my passion and I have put up with a lot of cruddy, unintuitive languages and development environments to follow my bliss. Some of the more arduous technologies I've encountered would be: Embedded FORTH - well actually, any FORTH for that matter The inaptly named NATURAL and its backend ADABAS VC++ 6 MFC - Creating any sufficiently complex UI was akin to attempting suicide with a hammer. COM/ActiveX - it was a nice idea that got lost in the implementation. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Anything involving Eclipse! (now where did I put that hammer?) InstallShield LISP - that syntax, oh the humanity! But I really enjoy using LEX & YACC, so what does that say about me? ;)

                              Wix is a priceless skillset. True it seems trivial from the outside looking in but the power and flexibility of that framework makes developers who have mastered it extremely valuable.
