What have I learned so far?
What have I learned so far?
- Microsoft programmers drink too much Jolt Cola
- Win32/MFC/COM/ActiveX system was not designed to
be easy to learn (c.f. VMS)
- After spending >1 year there is still a huge
amount to learn
- So far <10% of time has gone into writing ‘final’ software
- Microsoft is changing/extending things
faster than the speed of learning
- Once things fall into place it is
possible to exploit Microsoft environment
to rapidly build applications
