I am just a weeny bit curious why Murigi evidently certain the coder will be coming to Kenya on holiday soon and that he'd be interested or find time to give a free talk? Whom does he work for? His blog says "**This is my personal blog. The views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of my employer.** Employers are not supposed to be any secret:) regards On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 7:39 PM, Bernard Owuor<b_owuor@yahoo.com> wrote:
@Murigi, An interesting, impressive and outstanding person indeed. Why not invite the guy to skunkworks if you think he might visit Kenya in the near future? I'm almost sure he'll be glad to give a talk.

Benard,
Please check out http://msmvps.com/blogs/jon_skeet/default.aspx. The fellow started off with C, Mastered Java but somehow fell in love with C#. Strange thing is that he now works at Google UK. He has very interesting comments at stackoverflow.com

Considering the fellow is a Brit am sure he will be in Kenya one of these days for holidays. Never thought any (Brit) would interest me but this one is as civil (decent) as he is sharp. He is such a great educator that ignoring him would be pure folly.

@Aki! I think you found a convenient and artificial crossroads because you're facing some challenges in C#. I'd urge you to stick with C# because all other languages are cheesecake once you master one.
I'm currently converting a VB app to C# (so that it can run in *nix - using mono) and seem unable to notice the differences between the languages, apart from the abundance of C# docs. Stick with it or take a subset to get through.

Basically, it is possible using libusb-win32. Look at:
@ Thnks Bernard. :-) Yesterday I found WMI with Win32_ classes . Now am having to go back to scratch as WMI is mostly scripting. I had no idea WMI was powerful on windows. I also found something " new to me" for windows i.e Powershell programming. I guess I must be at the correct cross roads.........
@Thnks Frankline. :-) Cheers. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
