From Ejaz:
Ha ha, yes. In marketing, you need to know the happenings and causes behind the theory and texts, which I did. However, the problem is that during exams, you need to be able to provide exams, concepts and facts from the book and write them down. If you just understand the stuff and let it go by, when exam day comes, you die. :DQuote:
Furthermore, its a continuous process, you SHOULD have the idea and know the logic behind the theory but memorizing the entire marketing book is a plain wrong thing to do.
For example, you need to remember the core marketing concepts, the 28 pricing strategies(which in turn, each has a life and story of it's own!!!!), the 4Ps of marketing(which in turn, nests more factors and components within each single P, which in turn nests even more theories in each sub-component, which leads to another lot of related theory, and that related theory itself has lots of concepts in it, and.....)
The marketing I'm studying now is all about theories nested within theories, and more theories in each single theory. U get it. :rolleyes:
How did you know that, Ejaz? Did you spy on me? Are you a stalker who printed each and every of my 4100++ posts and frame them in your bedroom? That's sick! :-OQuote:
Btw, do you remeber your converstaion with a young girl around here, who's father was a hot shot C++/MFC programmer. Its about 3-4 years back, she was I guess around 12 back then and she offered your freelance programming services as well, her name was something like mira..., don't remember it exactly
Unless you tell me how you got those freaky stuff on me, my lawyer will invite you to a meal of chicken chop with the judge. Unless you tell me that you're my #1 fan, you're dead.
However, yes. 4 years back then, there was indeed a 12 year old programmer girl I talked to. She hung around here for several weeks and disappeared. Her name wasn't Mira, but Maggie Baldwin. Her dad's name was.......Michael Baldwin. I remembered these names well, because the surnames were so interesting. :-D
The dad was a freelance programmer, but the daughter......she's 12 years old and she's doing code????!!! I still find it tough to believe, though I know it's true.
I mean, com'on. 12 year old boy programmers.....maybe there are a few out there who code in BASIC or some very very high-level scripts like Lego Robotics code and those click-a-button-to-create-your-first-program stuff.
However, we're talking about a 12 year old girl! What are most 12 year old girls doing? Buying cosmetics, talking boys, starting to explore themselves, read love stories etc.
Furthermore, she wasn't any newbie programmer at that age of 12. She knew about pointers and everything......in fact......during that time when I was in my prime(that time when I myself knew the most about C++ compared to now), she was already way ahead of me! Her skills back then were either as good as NoHero now or better!
She could ****ing answer even the toughest crap code I threw at her!
The girl must be 16 or 17 now, but I'm not interested in kids, though.:rolleyes: Too bad you joined CodeGuru too late, NoHero. Or else u two might clicked.
From Siddharata Buddha:
But from what I know, C# is better suited for writing Windows GUI programs than C++, right? C# is like a Visual Basic thing, whereby they hide the core details from you and you just deal with high level code and GUI(no pointers, no memory access etc.).Quote:
Note that one cannot write a kernel level driver in C# (!!), and there are fine levels of control over hardware and memory that C++ can give which C# cannot. Having said this - it is easy to write enterprise applications in C#.
Also, the risky thing about C# is that it's owned by Microsoft. If one day, C# is creating losses for the company because it's not accepted by the masses much, then Microsoft might reduce support and development for it and even phase it out. That's bad, though. I mean, in the computing world, nothing is certain.
From Logan:
Nah! Like I said before, I hate pics of myself. The only time I take pics is when I need to send out resumes etc. Other than that, I always prefer to meet the interviewers/whatever, face to face so that they could see my real cool face. My face is like 15000% nerdier and distorted in photos, dunno why. Maybe I'm the least photogenic person in the world(like Catherine Zeta-Jones and Charlize Theron in photos sometimes.....they can be really ugly at the wrong angles). :thumbd:Quote:
Hey Xeony since you are back, why not post a pic of yours?
And thanks, everyone, for welcoming back. :D
Xeon.
