Learning C++ after C# doesn't have to be confusing. You do need to have an understanding of how C#/Java does certain things for you and what those things are. However, there is a reason that every...
How on Earth is C# more confusing than C++?
It's not a bad thing that it does a lot of the work for you. It makes your job a lot easier and hiding many of the intricacies of a language allows a...
Or better, get a book, go through online tutorials and if you know someone in the business ply them with sweeties or chocolate to give you a hand when you need it. It works for me. :)
I'd also...

Interesting considering where the book is supposed to have originated.
It reminds me of a quote from a film:
"You're painting Jesus white... are you sure he was white?"
"Of course he's...
I think a lot of the problem relates to how one interprets what is in said book... not so much what is actually written in it.

Some more thoughts on the matter.

At least... it's not called that.

I think the relationship between the Church and the government is more a relic of Britain's past though, don't you?
Can you think of why though? (to matsp) I have an urge to try and understand things that completely flummox me (like my current C# issue but that's another story) and, if I don't know, I will...
I'm aware of that... but Britain is a democracy with a very diverse set of cultures.
Picture this situation in say, Chipping Norton? It would not happen in this country because there would be an...
From what I can gather... which is not an in-depth knowledge of Islam I might add... is that it is okay to honour a person with the name of the prophet but not to give that name to objects or...
Yes, I know this is a touchy subject generally but I'd like some opinions on this particular case I just read about on the BBC News website.
It seems to have caused a bit of a kerfuffle.

It's fairly easy to implement a style based on the device type. You have to design another UI but it's always going to be much simpler than the desktop version. Plus, if you have a Windows Mobile...

Yes, I'd agree with that. A single table which exists just inside the body tag. It should not be difficult to alter the way a screenreader interprets the page if the highest level element is known....

When software is your bread and butter I think it highly unlikely you will retain your current sentiment.
Ah, I thought so. However, I don't think it's much of a burden as implied. It does...
They are... but is there enough of an audience to warrant spending the money to update it? and with the DDA rules in place now there is no real need.
On a personal note I don't think it's a bad...

People as a rule don't like change and if, as I said, they weren't particularly computer-literate you are not going to be able to persuade them to try something different when what they have works...

'Users' only have a certain amount of say in the matter. A corporation is not going to change over to firefox 'because Microsoft doesn't adhere to standards'. It would cost time and therefore money...
