Hi!

You are correct.
The next chapter starts on the next page after that advice and includes the quote from Hitchhiker's.

and of course, this can be translated to almost anything in life, not just C++.

Actually, I believe it is older than that.
I used it for an app under Windows 95. (Visual C++ / MFC).
Back when it was called Visual Studio 1.x, 2.x, etc. Only in 2000, I think did they start calling it Visual Studio 20xx. Just thought it was interesting.
Edit
I am wrong. I guess it was called something different than what I was thinking back then. Hmmm...
Microsoft Visual Studio - Wikipedia[^]
Edit 2
I guess this is what I'm thinking about...
Visual C++ 2.0, which included MFC 3.0, was the first version to be 32-bit only. In many ways, this Visual C++ 2.x also supported Win32s development....
Visual C++ 2.1 and 2.2 were updates for 2.0 available through subscription.
Visual C++ 4.0, released on 1995-12-11[12] introduced the Developer Studio IDE
from Visual C++ - Wikipedia[^]

Yeah, Microsoft C++ used that IDE all the way back in 1993-4-5 and I was thinking it was named Visual Studio but probably not. I think it was just called Visual C++. The old IDE been around a long time.
I remember Visual Basic 1.x released and was a separate IDE you installed and used. Interesting.

First coding job was using the Microsoft C 5.1 compiler. You had to drop out of windows to build stuff.
Had to have different autoexec.bat file for compiling, debugging, using windows.
Our mantra was "Boot, boot, boot, boot, boot."

I was programming in C with the Lattice compiler around 1984 when Microsoft bought that compiler and turned it into Microsoft C.

Same here. Lattice and another cross-compiler whose name I can't remember.
You can't win.
You can't break even.
You can't quit.
You're welcome.

Not according to Wikipedia:
Microsoft first released Visual Studio ... in 1997

Yeah, it's interesting history. Do you remember Visual Interdev for IIS web extension development?
It was yet another separated IDE. All those memories collapse together and it seems like I've been using Visual Studio all the way back.

Oh yes. I think I even used it once or twice. (That's probably why I still prefer to do web stuff in Notepad++!)

I started with Visual Studio 6 doing C++ and MFC. Until now, I had NO IDEA that there was only 1 prior version!
|
|
|
|
|
Right. That's how I felt.
Haha. I honestly remember installing Visual (whatever it was called ) 1.0. I'm not kidding.
Oh, before that, the "old guys" had installed something like Microsoft C 7.0 for Windows API dev.
I also remember installing version 1.0 of Visual Basic from three 3.5" floppies.
Great stuff.

With new experiences comes learning. My TILD is that objects in MySQL may be case-sensitive, depending on environment and system options...in my case, they were which was puzzling at first.
As for the option of getting off of Joomla, that is up to the owner/friend. We're just trying to help out and that's it. She's not a client I would want anyway.
