RE: XML and AS/400

["Bob Crothers" <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

L.S.,

Rest assured, this is NOT what I was trying to say (that anybody was "not
intelligent").

Most of the members on this list do fit into the "procedural language"
category because they are AS/400 folks.

And using an OO language does NOT mean you use object oriented design.  I
wrote C using a C++ compiler for over a year.

Object Oriented is not complicated...but it is DIFFERENT!  And it takes time
to learn.  But it is well worth learning.  Not because of Java, but because
of OO.

If you are that rare exception that can move from a procedural language to
object oriented design in a matter of days and with no pain, then one of 2
things apply: You are using your OO language to do procedural programming
(very possible, even with Java), -or- you are one very exceptional
programmer and I am blinded by your brilliance.

Regards,
Bob

Isn't that always the way, whenever you express such heretical ideas as
disgust with java. It is never because the language is poorly designed,
oh no, it must be that you are just not intelligent enough to grasp the
complicated object oriented methodology.
