Language: PHP, Javascript vs Chinese, English

[August1991]

First there was C.

Then, C**

It is now C# (Note how the plus signs cross themselves.)

====

My first language was Basic. Then Fortran (or rather WATFIV).

OOP? To me, Steve Jobs changed everything. Users could click anywhere.

Because of Pierre Trudeau, I realised that I knew so little.

Funny you mentioned PHP and Javascript which are rapidly becoming historical artifacts.

Used to hand bomb complex websites over a weekend back in the PHP WWW3 days...
and I get a real kick over these 'educators' bragging how they're gonna teach kids to "code"... what KIND of code FFS ?

[August1991]

Herbie, you kids now love Python.

True story: I remember a teacher who loved Latin. Well, the world changes.

(Advice: Be careful of syntax.)

Herbie (and others):

1. Variable names: t4 vs UserName

2. Add comments // WTF? t4 = Family User Name

It is likely yourself who will re-read your code.
