I recently started learning ASP.NET (with VB. I'm not ready for C# yet. I'll get there eventually) and it's making my life easier in terms of making forms and pages. Also learning css has made it easier and helped me see other ways of developing web pages. I hope that all of what I'm learning will make learning Java easier for me, since that is my eventual goal. I'd like to "Master" a few rather than try to sample everything at once and not really be strong in any one. Thanks for your informative posts! I definitely agree.

Let's hope they fix this in the next version. Yes, it would be even better if it worked for ps files. Let’s hope they fix this in the next version.

I tested it out and it's _much_ faster than adobe acrobat (on Windows) and the .pdf reader that comes with Ubuntu. Too bad that this plugin can't handle .ps files Perhaps this is something that they'll address in the next release? Thanks for this information.

C++ advantage is mostly that it has become a successful commercial version of C. But it is in use by lots of people, so it won't go away. @Steve, I have tried to make a separate case for C and C++.

C is not C++. Don't lump C in with C++. C doesn't deserve that kind of insult. You start off ok, but you lost me when you went off the rails here:

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 20:06:16 +0000 http://coliveira.net/?p=643#comment-1047 Your suggestion that a low level language like C++ is equality capable as something like Python is very interesting... I can things in Python that would take forever to do in C. I believe *that* is what matters.
