Re: CF Salary Range

[Matthew Small]

Yes, I am aware but the point being (no pun intended) is that nobody in CF is a) allocating a free memory space to hold a data structure b) referencing the address of that memory space for purposes of creating virtually contiguous blocks of information or c) deallocating it manually when the information is no longer needed.  Nothing in CF has anything to do with pointers in the sense that they are deliberately, explicity used to write an algorithm.

  Well depends on what your doing in CF.  You can really screw the pooch with
  structures in a very similar manner.

  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.
