IF? I was developing software when you were complaining about your thumb.
Yeah you were, Does not mean you know a lot of the modern coming and goings about the web now. Your a good Java coder, I always and continue to say that. In terms of the Web Sam you out the loop and seem to not care to learn about it and anything new or things that are done by everyone else are around because either you do not understand them or want to look at it you dismiss it out right.
We can all see that every time you try post a smarmy comment on the forums in threads.
Did I mention the web? I know my eyesight isnt particularly good but I re-read my post a few times and dont see where the web comes into this. Theres far more to computers than the web.
Again, casing point.
The trouble is you started cutting and pasting HTML and you think you became a computer programmer.
Again, prime example of you having no clue about what is going on.
From A-level computing to Uni. What did I do at Uni?
Java Followed by xhtml etc but then also Java for the web - beans, jsp, MVC etc. Then I also Did XML, XSLT etc. I then learnt design and CSS, XHTML and Javascript off my own back,
For the nth time, graphics is not development.
Sorry but Sam, again you read what you want and ignore everything else and as I said before you like my dad, you make your own conclusions based on your opinion, not what is going on.
You might want to pretend youre a computer programmer but youre not, youre a graphics designer (which is still a laudable profession but I dont know why you have convinced yourself youre a software developer). Anyone can knock together a HTML page (albeit of course those who do it full time are undoubtedly faster).
You say that but the way you have struggled through in this area has been quite funny.
XCode and ObjectiveC are the main mac development tools. For a start, thats what the iPhone is built on (hey theres one of those non web things we talked about). Some of the problems with it include obtuse non c syntax (google it) based on a language called smalltalk (google it). Objective C on the iphone uses reference counting (google it) for crying out loud which is fundamentally flawed.
"The coding software is much nicer then that of the PC".
Well I take it youve never used Eclipse (google it). Even Vis Studio (which isnt a patch on Eclipse) trumps Xcode hands down. Although I suspect the real meaning behind your claim goes back to my earlier comment that you think CSS is coding and that Dreamweaver is a development platform. And Again, not the case.
Today I am sitting here coding in .NET right now making up a comments system with campaign support.
Go into a software development house and ask them if they think Dreamweaver is used for coding and theyll laugh at you.
I did, and no they did not. Not the only thing people use, Coda Etc And I have shown that before, Not the only thing I use either. i got Aptana open right now.
I dont know why I continue to politely converse with you, showing you where are you going wrong, and trying to educate you on the areas you misunderstand when your posts are continually of an (unwarranted) smug nature.
You never do though, In all the other threads I see you spounting things and me producing links etc to back up what I say and then you ignoring the thread there after.
Again Sam, Your a great coder but in terms of web applicaiton, modern thinking about the web, what else is out there bar what you do and know and everything else covered before your out of the loop. Sixrevisions - I know the guy. I showed him this thread. The email back he basically thinks your a total idiot Sam (his words not mine)
Not Only are you 10 years behind in a lot of cases and ignoring the fact you do not seem to want to learn new stuff You dismiss it all, When you talk about symatics, standards, frameworks and everything else you have dismissed as rubbish (despite them being used by everyone else or liked etc) it is Your constant Disrespect for me and everyone else that seems to be up with the modern ways of thinking etc.
I think your an old fashioned guy, but your not a total idiot or total git but for this industry your a total moron tbh with no real clue about what is going on. Great Java coder as I have always said and I have great respect for what you have produced in that. But even if I went into Java and talked about the best modern Practises about the Architecture for an a Web application built in Java in terms of the OO etc you would not have a clue what I was on about. Your better then me at Java I know that but because I have not done it much since Uni. if I got up to speed again (Like I am currently with .NET and Ruby) with everything else I know and how I keep on top of things I would be 10 times better then you Sam. Not because I would be being arrogant prick but it just boils down to keeping on top of what goes on, respect what is going on, take an interest in what is going on, learning more then one thing and just generally not being a miserable old bastard.
f**k, the best developers in the world argue and disagree about things and how something should be done, but the biggest thing is they respect the other guys and what they do. You DO NOT and that is just... well.... It is Not on Sam.
