Coder != Developer
What is developing software? I use to think that developing software means churning out chunks of code that works. Those were the days when I use to code using Notepad. ;-)
The other day I was at a bookshop browsing and I found this book titled 'Coder to Developer'. I browsed through it and it sounded pretty useful especially for someone like me doing a spot of soul searching, trying to find my path in the wild wild west of computers and such.
However, it's been almost two weeks since I bought it and I still haven't started on it. =p Was too busy doing some de-lousing of a piece of software followed by some in-house training at my company. The training was more like knowledge sharing among my colleagues unfortunately the titled assigned to me was something I thought I knew and understood, but turned out during the presentation there was much much more I didn't know.
The interesting title is 'Event-driven Programming'. I thought, "Event-driven programming, hmm.. piece of cake. You throw events from A and then you catch and react to the event in B". The very first thing I found out was event programming in VB.NET does not appear to be multithreaded. Interesting interesting interesting. Too bad I got chewed up by everyone =(. Still it was a good lesson for me - Never to go into a presentation without sufficient research. ;-)
Training commences again now. More rantings later. =D
