I think it's a case of being thrown in the deep end. I started programming in 1986 doing my O Levels with BBC Basic, dabbled a bit with STOS on the Atari ST, but then nothing really until 2005 when I belatedly took a degree in Software Development. One element of the Multimedia module was Javascript - IIRC six weeks - and I wasn't too fond of Javascript (possibly because I'd found C++ a pain as well[1]). If they managed to get from zero to a functional website with no coding experience at all inside one day, that's not a bad achievement.On 17/04/12 12:33, Julian Hall wrote:What is it with these whingers?
