Yup, I aggree... and this is also true of other scripting languages like PHP and PERL... but maybe I'm just being too much of a purist. I think you also have to understand that a lot of so called "crappy" programmers never had anyone show them how to write code so it's not their fault. My wife is learning ActionScripting for Flash at her new job. There is a "senior" programmer that she works under. I have been working with her at home on her programming skils, and the quality of her work now surpasses the her manager's work. But it's hard to fault either of them because they are simply ignorant of programming practices and plus they don't really care because they don't see themselves as programmers. I mean you just don't see a lot of discussions about design patterns and application modeling in the VB, PHP, PERL, etc.. newsgroups... It's too bad really... As linux becomes more and more popular and as time goes on some sort of basic programming skill will be required -- kind of like typing was when I was in high school. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jim Dawson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, August 27, 2001 12:52 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Re: [newbie] religion in linux <OT> <TID> > > > That must be a popular title.
