Well, we probably shouldn't get into a credentials shouting match, eh? What's important are the fundamental supportable ideas behind it. However, if that sort of thing is important and you want to compare, my first software development job was over 30 years ago; PhD; ten years university computer science faculty including 4 years as department head; rest of career in as software development including now; write more languages than I can count. Big deal. Does that make me right in a discussion? Well, I haven't come by my opinions casually nor from the outside looking at stereotypes. But that of course doesn't make me correct. Still, it makes for some pretty strong opinions formed over many years of careful observation, which my experience bears out and I believe are supportable. BUT I'm wondering if we haven't gone way too far for this forum. Perhaps you should take the last shout and then we carry the shouting match (and credential battle) elsewhere <G>. I checked the SAPS software but couldn't find a price anywhere, so shelved it temporarily.
