- I don't really know the answer... But I will pose the question.
-
- What about people who have an affininity for computers & languages? For
- example, I was given the task of re-writing the Netware LOGIN program
- so it would be full screen, menu driven, and would give a nice formatted
- login message screen. I decided that "C" would be my best tool, even
- though I had never written a "C" program before, and the bulk of my
- experience is in IBM mainframe systems programming. Anyway... I bought
- a couple of really good books, and wrote the program in about 2 weeks.
-
- Now I am no "C" guru. But with the correct tools I think I could
- tackle any task in "C". But I probably couldn't write anything more
- than printf("Hello world \n") from memory.
