Yeah, except which app developer wants to force his users to download the huge runtimes for the framework in XP? I find it to be a deal killer.

Darn! I just did my whole site (and wardrobe in fuscia and lime... now you tell me that won't be nice to look at all day? What's a programmer to do?

Are you confusing it with the Mr. Bean skit?

I completely agree. I am needing to fill some holes in my UML study and other architecture and design issues in order to move forward a project I'm working on. 3 and 4 story buildings are ok, but then you try to build a 12 story building and the thing just topples. So, 'back to the drawing board'...

I've come from GWBASIC in 1985 to Xbase languages then VB now C#. Pointers (a kind of dog, right?) and the 'stack' - as in she is really 'stacked' are neo to me-oh. I still am a bit verbose with my 'ifs' for clarity such as: if(SeePlusPlus == true) { strProgrammerLevel = "GirlyMan"; //lunchbox notwithstanding } Where this: if(SeePlusPlus) strProgrammerLevel = "GirlyMan"; //lunchbox notwithstanding would suffice. The next stop on the 'dilletante express'? Looks like IronRuby. If you understand that the spice must flow, you may notice that the sleeper is still a bit groggy....

OK, so now that we are sufficiently on subject... If you study C#, what kind of lunch box? if (UseC++ == true) { Messagebox.Show("You have the Spiderman lunchbox"); } else { Messagebox.Show("You hunt and kill and eat raw meat.") } No time for lunch. The spice must flow!
