I would have thought that with all of the embedded work going on out there, that there would be more work for C/C++ programmers. I'm not saying "a lot more", but just "a bit more". Oh, and I've heard of people doing embedded Java programming, but this seems to be a little bleeding edge to me. > If writing OO software was the > first goal I would have stayed with C++. I find this comment to be weird, because you can do OO development in either C++ or Java (C too, if you are careful). Or do you mean that you program in Java, but you don't use any OO techniques? --kevin -- Go UNH Hockey!
