johnpalmerSo... I've been studying programming, and trying to learn that Big Breakthrough that will make me stop thinking programming is so impossibly hard and complicated.
I still haven't hit it. I was hoping that my studies of Visual C++ and the Microsoft Foundation Classes would contain it, but they haven't
But I'm learning.
I was studying VB .net, and thinking to myself "Geez, this Common Language Runtime sounds just like the Java Virtual Machine."
Next day, I find out that only C++ .net allows you to make "real windows programs" (i.e., programs that run without the CLR).
Next day (today) I find out that the CLR *IS* just like the Java Virtual Machine.
I'm learning. Not as fast as I'd like to be, but I'm learning. And, just like the usual way I learn, I'm seeing the grand, sweeping patterns, and having troubles with the details. That's a good thing, I think.
