Booth,
Life as we know it is not getting simpler.  I embarked
on my new technology journey a little over 3 years
ago. As a 2+ decade RPGer, I was overwhelmed &
perplexed with Object Oriented technology & Event
driven technology. I am finally getting a grasp on it.
 It does make sense, and it's cool, but it's not the
same thing that Grandma used to make.

If your really want to have fun, take an Object
Oriented Analysis & Design course.  Have fun with UML,
Use Cases, State charts, Sequence & Collaboration
diagrams.....<smile>

Procedural programming is being replaced by object
re-use, inheritance, encapsulation, etc.

Just when I was becomming an expert with ERD's, now
it's listed in the textbooks as 'Grandpas design
tools' 

Ha, cheer up it's just getting started.
