Yep, you've done things the right way so far. I missed the step over to C++ and
sidestepped to writing requirements. Wrong move, but the job market's picking up
there again. Pick up PERL while you're at it. For some reason, that's hot now.


navaid.com is writen in perl. Even though I've used it for a pretty major
chunk of code like that, I still think of it as a toy language. My next
personal project will probably be in Python.

Just talked with a very skilled associate. He prefers Java over C++,
and Python over Java. I've only done a few small projects in Python and
PERL. I found PERL to be a strange language to work with (you
definitely need your PERL hat on, like Scheme).

Python will be my next project, but I find Perl incredibly natural.

Perhaps it says something about my mental outlook :-)

'There was a Perl hacker named Ray
Who wanted the time of the day
He pushed and he popped
He shifted and chopped
'Till tomorrow was somehow today'

and

'Roses are red
Violets are blue
Taint check your scripts
Or I will 0wn j00'

(I'm not sure where I saw either of these two things, but I definitely
live by the latter).
