How long have I been doing this?

Somebody just reminded me how long I have been doing this programming thing.  Here is something from 1990.  I don't think that 36 is that old.  Written some x86 ASM (just a little), Embeded Controller ASM, C and C++ on Unix, lots of client-server VB, Mathematic (which I still think is the absolute coolest language, started with it in early 1989 on a Mac), and of course, .NET.

  • Hi There!



    SOunds a bit like www.angryCoder.com :-)



    I feel your pain!



    SOmetime perhaps I can tell you a story abou the work I am doing.... some interesting cross relations.... a company paid for work on a system using a funky httpd that is *HELL* to code for and now they are about 4 years behind where they belong.... they have an *OUTSTANDING* concept that has been hosed by the folks who built the first system.

    Grrr......



    We are almost back to the point of having an alpha version of the new system re-written and with major re-working

    Some examples:



    OLD SYSTEM:

    MS Access for a database

    non-standard web server

    no seperation of functions / processes between

    business, data, rules, client, server etc...

    unstable

    hard to hire dev's for due to httpd problem



    NEW SYSTEM:

    MS SQL Server

    ASP.NET

    very modular.

    clear understanding of business needs

    clear understanding of how the tech relates to business

    documentaion and ability to hire coders

    to do testing etc... is 100% better.
