I'd go for: Teach programming to Yourself to become a better programmer. Jokes aside, I agree with the author.

... CodeProjectJS

... What if the fixes themselves are not quite relevant?

Make C# capable of doing this please!

Hi Compiler.
Create a web application for my startup.
What does it do? Analyzes data.
Thanks;

Thanks MS! :laugh:

I really do not understand why people are so against (code-behind) :doh: . Personally, I believe that Blazor is a relevant experiment and that will prove applicable in the near future.

I have found that such tools address only the simplest tasks anyway

Basically, that's only correct in some specific cases. However, when talking about products such as the blueprints system of unreal engine, things become totally different. In this VIDEO, you can see how one person made an advanced video game that is now seen as the most awaited RPG game in 2018- not mention that it is, seriously, free of any single line of code. It is pure blueprints.

We need tools that help with the difficult tasks. Instead they take the easy things and make them simple -- "hey, we saved 90%" -- while not helping with the difficult tasks and actually making the difficult even more difficult to do in that framework/tool.

You are perfectly correct. We need sophisticated tools that help us with the difficult tasks. That's why tools such as visual scripting environments do exist. The project that I mentioned above, which is 100% blueprints( no single line of codes) has been adopted by a game development studio, and they continued working on the project using blueprints only. Here is the game after the adoption (still, no line of code): Lost Soul Aside PSX2017 Demo Full Gameplay - YouTube[^]

Sometimes, the amount of work you need to dedicate to create something can be reduced by more than 90% if you use a visual scripting environment the right way. For example, when it comes to writing shaders, this fabulous materials editor that has been released by Epic Games, Rendering and Graphics, shows how useful visual scripting can be. Writing shaders using C++ (or any other language) may prove extremely troublesome compared to exploiting a visual scripting system.

You've got a very good point! Usually, people tend to download, purchase and create plugins to fill the void, which is- of course, another workaround to use some tools that the designers FORGOT about.

Well, that's relatively correct. however, such advanced visual scripting environments give remarkable tools to make the system more extensible. For example, designers have already implemented an approach that makes the users able to write their own nodes/(blocks of code).

Spam? Well, not really- I am not advertising nor anything. Unreal Engine a well-known game development engine that is considered as the most powerful real time rendering tool. So back to the subject, what does a software engineer/developer think of visual scripting environment? :)

This system is extremely flexible and powerful as it provides the ability for designers to use virtually the full range of concepts and tools generally only available to programmers.

Introduction to Blueprints | Unreal Engine[^] Personally, I believe that visual scripting is truly beneficial and worths a try. In the example I mentioned I above, I referred to the blueprints system of unreal engine which gives game developers the ability to work on their projects without the need to write a single line of code. So what do you think, folks?

Following a tutorial on how to create an application does not make you a relevant developer, whatsoever...

I am only 19 years old! I've been coding in C# for 7 years, does that make C# my childhood friend? :(

I'd call it ++C++

[^] From desktop to mobile in virtual reality or augmented reality, Unreal Engine 4.18 gives you the tools to deliver the types of content users demand. With expanded and improved platform support, you can deliver content wherever users consume it. In our relentless pursuit of a more efficient and streamlined development process, we continue to make updates and improvements to all of our tools so that you can deliver content faster than ever before.

Let me think of something... "The most powerful creation tool"?

If this becomes real one day- I will surround my children's devices with mirrors so they can't use the internet anymore, and focus on their studies.

How much electric energy is being consumed? Scared to know... The devil is in its most fitting forms. :^)

OH... :wtf: This explains why my recent application got rejected. Being a world-class geek isn't that cool after all. :(

Metals/Plastics/Aliminium... etc are ways cheaper and more amenable than wood, in my honest personal opinion. However, we still use wood - which is an older material compared to the 3 ones I mentioned above. Same goes for C... :^)
