Ah - I'll add that to my "toolchest" - I typically configure the build output to quiet or minimal or whatever the lowest setting is. Though, my particular problem was such that the build on my dev box reported no problems, but when I "deployed" onto the host server, I got a dependency error which was impossible to determine what the issue was because it's a hosted server rather than a machine I have full control over.

That too.... :laugh:

Chris tells me I am mistaken and that this is a bug to add to my list.

MVC supports custom view engines, if you feel inclined to create one. The default is Razor. See: Creating your own MVC View Engine For MVC Application. You could, for example, create a Slim view engine. Regarding SASS, you can use that in Visual Studio with an MVC application. Web Essentials can compile it, or you can use Compass to watch for changes and automatically compile to CSS. Thou mewling ill-breeding pignut!

If you're going to build a SPA (which it doesn't sound like he is), you should seriously consider AngularJS. "Those who don't know angular are doomed to repeat it." ;P

By the way, I updated to the latest version of FF just to see the functionality you were talking about (the arrows that appear after numerous tabs are opened). Terrible! Beyond terrible!! Stop making things better, devs! You only make them worse. :D I hate those arrows. More stuff to use the mouse on and that's always bad. Opera will arise to RULE THEM ALL!! :D Just kidding. I don't care. When one browser annoys me too much I move to the next. Originally used IE, then moved to FF and then to Chrome. Now on Opera. Safari is dead. There's always Lynx or my DragonSharq[^] browser. Haha, gratuitous self-promotion. It's always fun. :D

I never said I only worry about the big picture. I don't. I did say that I spend (some of) the time I save by not brooding over code for debugging and testing. Maybe I should have been more clear: what I'm talking about is contemplating the effect of each statement on the variables, then running a test and verifying each indivdual step to confirm that the changes occur in exactly the way I expect. That still takes a lot of time, but nevertheless, it is orders of magnitude faster than emulating the computer in your head while brooding over some piece of code! Static analyisis is what tools do. Real programmers debug! GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them.

A simple object would suffice.

Yup, basically pre-.NET is considered classic VB. jeffery c wrote: If so, I think I would be excluded because I had to learn about unit tests in my system analysis and design class Then you're the exception. Ironically I have nothing against VB. It's just a tool. However, working in the industry for 20 years has shown me that the most people that use VB fit in the mold I mentioned. So consider yourself different if you study design, and that's a good thing. jeffery c wrote: Another point to add to C is how kernel code in windows is ugly. That's my biggest peeve with C and C++ even. Even in C++ the STL is just ugly. It's a fantastic language, but damn when you look at when compared to languages like C# you have to wonder. C is still my favorite though, there's a few hacks that can be done to make the code look better, so I can live with it. jeffery c wrote: I could almost fit one in my pocket depending on the device.

And further on... The ATSB also found that the approach to the management of risk by the Old Bar Beach Festival Committee, specifically relating to aviation operations at the beach festival, was ineffective and resulted in a level of risk that had the potential to impact on the objectives of the festival. Oh, you mean like the FERRIS WHEEL can't be used now? :~ I need a 32 bit unsigned value just to hold the number of coding WTF I see in a day …

"t is one of those "Duct tape" languages: if nothing else will solve the problem, perl will." Isn't that a tautology: "one of those" other languages will surely do the job as well. Probably in a nicer way than Perl. (Except PHP of course, nothing is ever solved in a nicer way than anything by using PHP - except possibly BrainFuck).
