Hi there! Back when I was in high-school my literature teacher totally screwed up my career as a theater critic by ridiculing the associations I had between two totally unrelated literature pieces. That's how I ended up being a programmer. This time I am totally confident that the 'Professional programmers' workshop of Dave Cross and my RnD articles have something in common. I just don't know what. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your week! Gabor Szabo |
