Does teaching programming make you a better programmer +1 for " you can also learn from your students if you're open minded about it" I have experienced this when I taught a few night classes, years ago. |

Anyone code at a treadmill desk? Instead of spending bucks on something you may or may not like, why not just get out for 30-45 minutes during the day? I make it a point to run 3-4 miles 2-3 times during the week at lunch. If you think you're out of shape, start a couch to 5K program. You can't begin to imagine how much better you feel getting your heart rate up for a bit. And you'd be surprised how many issues you solve by getting away from your desk. Another idea is (if possible) bike to work. I am able to do this as well, and it's great. Just a thought. |

If you use MFC how did find it best to learn the concepts? You can use C# and create WinForms apps that, when compared to MFC are far easier for most cases. The .NET framework is far more consistent and easier to follow IMHO. I can't really make the comparison to Java, as I have no experience. If I could choose between C# and WinForms or MFC, it would be C# hands down. |

How was programming done 20 years ago? When I was young, we programmed in 1's and 0's! And sometimes we didn't have the 1's!! |

What do you think are the biggest software development issues, in small to medium businesses? I have 15+ years at my current (and only gig) and watching us grow from 5-6 to 12+ devs this answer is spot on. Can't up-vote it enough. |

What are the technical contributions of the pornography industry? @Jonescb, I've heard the opposite... major adult distributors chose blu-ray. including one with ties to a family company that rhymes with 'Bizney'. |

Software Process Management The only software we use is Test Track (again, not an advocate). We collect the requirements as 'stories' or 'epics' and add 'tasks' to those. Some may say it's too agile, and I won't disagree. In the past, we've been burned on software costs and have tried a minimalist approach for while. |

Is it true that first versions of C compilers ran for dozens of minutes and required swapping floppy disks between stages? @Clint, I'm sure you're correct. That's the name on the box. |
