Over Xmas vacation I'm reading a manual from NXP on a new multi-core embedded controller, Cortex A7 and M4 in one package. Something for the C++ Linux guys on the A7 end, and something for the C "bare iron" guys on the M4 end. Lot of programming challenges to manage power and how to best partition the design to split the requirements between a real-time front end and lots of store and forward data routing on the back end to multiple radios. Then there's the problem of a C# production tester at the assembly line. And on top of all that the security hypervisor to secure against IoT attacks.

Seems you may have spoke too soon on the forces aspect...

I'm sure the second one has been used in films none the less!

Last week, someone asked about what they could do at home for a project.. that got me thinking - I haven't done any programming at home for a while.
So... downloaded VS 2015 Community Edition today on the home environment and sparking it up to start a project.
When I've written it, I will probably publish it.

Project name: Home Hobby Hamperer: How to build an app to block you from downloading VS-CE and attempt a Home Hobby.

While I do code (occasionally) at work, it is more administration than coding... and I miss it. So... start somewhere.

Wow, I see "VAX\VMS Fortran" in your list,
so I am hurrying to say that I did it too

Commodore PET, Commodore 64, Commodore Assembler, VAX/VMS, Fortran, VMS Assembler, FMS, C
Then VB, SQL Server and finally .NET
It's hard to break old programming habits, that is part of the reason for the home project.
Try to avoid public/global variables.

Sounds good ... and it makes me think to update my profile
Cheers,

I used to make video games in the 80's and early 90's on C64, Apple IIgs, Amiga. Haven't done any game dev since then. So I decided to do my own home hobby project recently. SpaceBlaster.io, currently in the works but fully playable multi-player asteroids-like shooter done entirely in javascript/nodejs.

Created a game in high school on a Commodore PET; rewrote it for a Commodore 64.
Hope to reproduce it in .NET without public/global variables, but keep the same look and feel.

Curious, if it's a completely stand alone as-is item (game), not a module/extension/dll library why does that even matter?
Like pouring a bottle of beer into a glass to drink it when you're the only one at home - just making extra work for total zero gain.

An exercise in and of itself... forcing the learning curve.

I'm working on a home project based on two important facts:
0. We have a large amount of fruit growing in our garden.
1. Home distillation is legal in Hungary.

Do you have juniper trees growing in your garden?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

How very dare you!
Fig, plum, apple, pear, kiki, cherry and lemon, but no juniper.

Hmmm, seems par for the course programming in MATLAB starting to distil your own spirit...

Good, because I'll need a power-flow manager for my lightsabre, when somebody finally makes one for me.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
