Re: CF Salary Range

[Matthew Small]

I was just thinking that as well.  Of course, pointers are not applicable in CF nor in Java.  Come to think of it, I've never used them in Visual Basic either, but I sure did use them a lot in C++.  If you can get pointers, you're a true programmer.  I'm not saying that they are difficult to understand, just that I would consider that the line between a true programmer and a wannabe.

  I think the most important programming concept to learn is pointers.  You can pooch screw yourself very good if you don't understand these.
