in thread The problem of documenting complex modules.

I don't know if you program in Java

I do. Or at least I did once. It is the only language I ever got certified in. Not that I consider that any recommendation.

It took me just 3 weeks to go from zero Java to passing the three levels of Java certification that BrainBench offered back then (something like: Beginners, Advanced and Enterprise).

I was angling for a (senior) position in a startup my brother was getting involved with, that required Java.

(I kick it in to touch after my first telephone conference with the head honcho of the founding trio; he was a salesman, selling something that didn't exist, he didn't understand, and which he had no idea of how to create. But he talked up a storm and had secured $5,000,000 round 1 VC cash on the back of it. When pressed, he admitted that his main goal was a couple of years of fast cars and high living before folding the company.)

If not please try to figure out some stuff in this language. A very special experience.

I had to do so very recently in order to produce a Perl equivalent to a Java library.

Not a pleasant experience, hence why my aversion to javadoc and its ilk is so fresh in my mind.

    A cool lyric. Perhaps it is a bit too long to print it on a T-shirt to wear in office.

    Best regards, Karl
