I've written in many languages in the past 10 years-- VFP, VB/VBScript, ASP, PHP, VC++, VC#, Java, etc.-- they're all mostly the same. Most programmers can basically get the idea of what code is doing by reading it as long as descriptive commands/method names are used and no complex math/arithmetic(i.e. pointer arithmetic in c/c++). To a real software engineer, the language is irrelevant-- it's the design principles that are key. -- Derek _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
