Are you that old, or do you have a tradition in the family to get at ... these things early ?

How do you define old? I am old to my grandchildren, but young to my (older) siblings.

Old ? Age is the digital approach. But you can be young even if aged.

His profile says retired; I think he got there by the long road. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Yeah, but that just means you can hope for more babies to play with soon, without having to worry about if you're raising them right !!!

True, and it's a great feeling.

My grand daughter is 25 also.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

Since we last spoke, I've passed my first MS exam ( a while ago now, the first SQL Server one ), and done a lot of work to learn Angular ( although I don't use it at work ). I'm planning on learning Mongo next, got the book ready, then I want to get good enough at the minutiae of HTML5 to pass THAT MS exam. At the same time, I am vaguely aware of newer C# features that I wish I could find the time to understand more fully. I've used async/await because I have to, and I use dynamic a fair bit, but some of the new stuff where you can pass a code snippet as a method parameter, I would love to really 'get' that, but I don't yet.
During the day I am mostly playing with CRM.

Now excuse me while I go and work on my Hadoop enabled SignalR node.vb Single page app using Angles.

node.vb ? That's great....
|
|
|
|

Yeah it's great. Drag and drop designer support. You don't need to write a single line of code.
cheers

And why would you WANT to write code, in this day and age ?

Will it have infinite vertical scrolling too?

No, infinite horizontal scrolling.
It's what the cool kids are now doing.

I learn a little bit of everything I don't know that seems popular just so I have a general idea of what it is and how it might fit into a project...I only dig deep into it when I need it...there's just too much stuff always coming out to be considered 'expert' at all of it...a lot of it winds up on the trash heap in a few years anyway.
I usually do this learning on weekends and the odd weekday when I don't have any work to do.

Yeah, working out what will matter in a few years time is hard. I am pretty sure that javascript is going to matter more and more, however.

Couldn't agree more - but Angular, knockout, node.js, typescript, etc. etc. - which to look at and which to study?!
I sometimes wish I'd been a plumber - I mean, pipes don't change that much, do they?

Angular. Google writes it, so it has support, and it is brilliant.
|
|
|
|
|
I'm leaning toward Angluar too - but really like knockout.
Oh, the quandry!

When all else fails, scan the job ads and decide on whatever seems more lucrative !!!

That;s why I;'m leaning towards Angular - but i feel knockout is just better and simpler (sure, doesn't do as much for you either!)
Just have to learn both, I guess!
And Android development.
And C++ (again - it's changed so much)
too much to learn, too little time!
