Re: 86 lines of code

Since the arrival at our company of the Java developers, all of which were given 2 screens, us WDSC/RDi/RDp developers have also been given 2 screens. Most of which would only be thrown out if we didn't use them!

Best regards,

Mark

Is this just the american way of doing things bigger than everyone else? How does one convince one's employer that 2 19" monitors are economically viable? Are most people developping this way or are they using one screen only?

I must admit, it sounds like luxury. When I look across at my coworker who uses only SEU: he flips between 5 sessions, each window is reduced in size to the equivalent of an 11" screen so he can also see his desktop. So fat chance I have of ever getting Rdi and dual montiors.

Oh yea.... and I have dual 19" widscreen monitors. If they

The main advantage of RDi over PDM/SEU is in the time to
analyze a program and produce code. If you can see 86 lines
of code (in my setup) at a time in RDi(WDSC) versus only 19
in SEU then I don't know how you can ignore the productivity
gains that gives you.

Bryce, what are your preferences set at? I only have 51 lines and I
haven't found another setting that is easy on the eye. My
screen is only
17", I think.

Another comparaison with the number of lines : I find that
greenscreeners
are less likely to use long names in their code. So you tend
to get a lot
more comment lines, thus amplifying even more the difference.
They may be
lazy about writing subprocedures as that slows them down. I still
sometimes use SEU for a quick look at something, but it has
to be really
quick because often I have to page and page before finding any code!
