Completely forgot that software engineering and software engineering education have nothing whatsoever to do with Ada. Nor do maintenance, readability, tools, or many of the other topics that have arisen in this group from time to time. Sorry. Really must remember to keep the conversation totally narrowly focused on the one or two questions per week that have to do with something like mutable record semantics or compiler recommendations for DOS platforms. >I'm sure that there must be some >newsgroup out there where people are interested in your opinions about >how to turn out techno-droids who are as interesting as their keyboards, Better competent techno-droids with a complete grounding in their area of expertise than well-rounded semi-competents lacking an education in even fundamental computer science. Besides, the idea that you can "make" a person interesting is absurd. Interesting people take classes in philosophy and psychology on their own. Dullards remain dullards whether or not they have completed introductory check-in-the-box general ed courses or not. -- *** LIMITLESS SOFTWARE, Inc: Jim Showalter, jls@netcom.com, (408) 243-0630 **** *Proven solutions to software problems.
