Sounds good. I'll check it out.

Scott_Arm said:What would be a good programming language to learn in terms of up and coming languages that may gain wide use? Maybe try to get a headstart on something, or at least get in early.
DemoCoder said:You should like it. It's Pascal derived too like Delphi. Think of it as Delphi on steroids.
DemoCoder said:I think the only downside is Eiffel doesn't have as good an IDE as Delphi. One of the things that makes Delphi good is the IDE.

Scott_Arm said:Ok, I used Pascal when I was in highschool, maybe 6 years ago, at a guess. I made a frogger clone, but the frog was a cute baby ... my teacher gave me a bad grade, citing inappropriate content ... anyway, from what I remember, which isn't much, Pascal was an entirely procedural language. I imagine that the syntax has changed quite durastically now that it is OO?
My real-time and embedded systems instructor is always preaching assembly and C(worst case). My compilers teacher was always preaching C. My data structures and algorithms teacher was always preaching C++. My C++/Software Requirements Analysis teacher was always preaching Java. And they all dumped all over .NET. I think .NET is a good idea in principle. I was looking into MFC, but it just looked nasty to program.
I think I'll look into Delphi and Eiffel

That was a good joke until I hit the porn banner at the bottom of the page and realised I was still at work ... Maybe that was the joke ... I dunno.
Does the name Clemens Vasters rings a bell?DemoCoder said:Design by contract increases readability even further.
