This is it. I will be doing some C++ (Arduino) and Python (Raspberry Pi).
Some people flamed me for saying I didn't have time for some of those new programming management fads. They said I should work my ten hour days and then go home and study. Get a life. That is not me flaming back. It is an old man telling you that if all you have is work you really do need to get a life. You will not look back and say, "I wish I had spent more of my off hours trying to learn something that did not last a whole year." Even the great "Agile" is seldom implemented as the creators intended.
I was ordered to do Dot Net and that's what I had to do. So love it or hate it that's what I got paid to do. I did do some study on my own. I found classes to be useless. Mostly learning on the fly, and Google as needed got me through.
Luck with it code geeks.

And don't forget to tell them where they can put all their rules, conventions, best practices and all the rest. For the revolution! 
C++ sounds good. I'm coming.

No, but I am going to look into it shortly.

Oh Dear! When my retirement comes I was thinking of teaching some of those.

In over 25 years of programming myself, I have never ever met a dev to who spent too much time behind a computer that was actually a happy person. It's about balance. So, rock on man.

Both Arduino and Raspberry Pi are great platforms.
Good luck with your future endeavors.

But I suddenly found out that all those elephant'ing emoticons you guys post are wearing out my monitor.
Don't, however, flame me on this (pages full of them envisioned). I'm merely the messenger. You can trace the seeds of this (implied) concept back to its source[^], and carry on from there.

If true, that's bad news  dead monitors get expensive 
I'll have to drink more ![Java | [Coffee]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/coffee.gif) (or ![Beer | [beer]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) ) and stop using them 
Anyway, the ![Sunshine | [little ray of sunshine]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/sunshine.gif) is shining, so I'm going out to the garden.

Why not? Killing the messenger is a tried and tested process, validated over many millennia.

UKS = United Kingdom Safe:
Came across in the Wikipedia, quite by accident. Quote: The idea of frying fish in the stereotypically British fish and chips, for example, was introduced to Britain by Sephardic Jewish immigrants.[4]
The [4] references a 2003 article in The Guardian by someone named Jay Raynor.
And I thought things were bad when I found out that French American fries were . . .neither

He's a food critic - not a bad one, except (like all his breed) he's rather fuller of himself than he is of ability to cook the food he berates or praises.

if you got away with the odd job [in the antipodes] you'd be known as a "Tin Ass" (or more loco-correctly "Tin Arse").

Bloody hell I've not heard that in a long while. I think you got the interpretation wrong, it is when you get lucky (or highly skilled). An example may be when an average pool player sinks a particularly difficult shot his opponent may call him a "tin arse" or just an arse shot.
