    There is a chap in the C# forum who is getting into programming at 28 and wants advice on how to get a career for such a late starter...[^] Since the question is probably broader than just what is available in the C# forum I thought I'd draw your attention to it.

      You won't succeed in moving that thread towards the lounge, I tried that before. Everyone is in the C# forum right now, the lounge has been abandoned. :-D

        I wasn't trying to move it to the lounge. I was suggesting that those in the lounge might like to visit the C# forum.

                    That's what Julius Caesar said when he last saw Brutus, "tu quoque fili mi" is Latin for "you too my son?" :)

                        No, that's Latin for "Brutus, you back-stabbing bastard!" Latin was occasionally good for getting to the point, as it were.

                            there are several known variations, such as "tu quoque, mi fili", and "(et) tu quoque, Brute fili mi", and "et tu, Brute?"; it is unclear what exactly was said but they all mean basically the same. Caesar wasn't taking notes at the time. :)

                                And neither was Shakespeare, and neither was Suetonius, who wrote that Caesar said nothing as he died while reporting that other sources indicated Caesar spoke in Greek as he lay dying a phrase equivalent to "you too, my son." Shakespeare's famous "Et tu Brute ?" (in Latin) is followed by (in English) "Then fall, Caesar." best, Bill

This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

                                  Age should have anything to with with it. I started programming in my early 40's (after a 22 year military career, no programming at all) and still doing it today. I'm sure there are organizations that would hire the 'young gun' over the 'seasoned cowboy' but in my experience, that's not the norm. If you know what you're doing, you're going to be doing it regardless of age/gender/color/etc.
