Jacques,
Mr Blooms analogies are that-- analogies. He is not stating a fact, but he did
so in a way for me to conceptualize
how to use GUI and a framework. I find Hendrik a very lucid and intelligible
person, I met Hendrik twice and
I am impressed with his knowledge, and skills. His analogy does not have to be
accurate and for me, transitioning from
25 years of C development to C++, his comments were comforting.

Mr. Leslie Satenstein
