Exactly. Those statements, at face value, doesn't necessarily mean much. First, we haven't established a level of trust or expertise to the person making the critique/comparison, nor have we placed any value to what the definition of college programming class A+ whatever equals in the "real world". I can establish that I have seen one of my Perl friends (an older gentleman) totally bash my other friends (a recent college grad) work. Both do excellent work, and both make apps that do what they are supposed to. The older gentleman however does not agree with a lot of the things the younger does, and/or does not agree with his reasons for doing it the way he did. I can't say as to who is right, wrong, or why. I'm not nearly skilled enough to make that judgment. I just know there is a fundamental disagreement between the two - even though they are both professionals that do high-level work. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
