Re: Has MS given up on us (again)?

My point was that the impression Michael gave was that switeching an enitre
company over to C# in one day and then having a laugh about how easy it was
implies that either the group already has C style experience or doesn't know
as much as they think they do. I only provided specific topics because
Michael asked me to.

If Michael's group only needs certain aspects of C# and they were able to
learn those aspects in just one day, then that doesn't mean they've learned
C# in a day, it means they learned what they needed to learn in a day.

Scott,

Don't forget that you as teacher have to deal with everything, as a user,
you have the choose what you use.

This different point of view can make a big difference, don't forget that
VB covers full the Net while C# does only a subset (and yes "unsafe"
code). The latter text does reminds me to the movie Miss Congeniality
(Sandra Bullock).

You can compare this with the natural language English, which is a
language consisting originaly from mainly the old language spoken around
the whole Northsea (Old England, Scotland, Danmark and Frysia (covering in
past current North Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium), England and
Scottland) and French (in fact Normandia). Be aware that the Enlish
spoken in the USA is more or less influenced by other languages, by
instance the word "cookie" is slang Dutch not English.

However this results that when non native English speakers from West
Europe use mostly English words conform their Latin or Germanic culture
part (the latter word has nothing to do with Germany, where a
Germanic/Gallic language is used)

But that is not for a teacher of the English language here, they have to
know everything and to speak it like is used in Oxford in Thames Valley.

This maybe a little bit to long text to show you that the point of view to
a language makes big differences.
