And to Joseph or anyone else who would like to answer:- Can you possibly tell me what it is like to be a programmer (in I assume the Java language) in the real world ? What I mean really by that is, what sort of code do you write in your job ? I assume you are working as a computer programmer ?
So what sort of code do you produce and work with in your job ? And is this difficult code ? Would I find it difficult to understand and work with ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joseph B.
