I couldn't agree more. especially with the generic design comment. People fail to create reusable code when they don't strive for this. It is part of the glory of OOP, so don't forget about it! And I do agree that it depends on what he's trying to accomplish. That's why I suggested VB as a possibility. It makes him a different dev type but it is a valuable/fast paced method of development.
