#82292 - no, Donald
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Erik's argument seems in general to be that beginners should stick with some sort of subset of programming until they become experts.
No, Donald, Please read this quote from my post which indicates a "subset of programming" that I would neither use or allow. As to general attitude in this, I believe that anyone, beginner or expert, should stick to the simplest "subset of programming" that will get the job done. The more exotic a "subset of programming" you use the more likely bugs will be.

quote from my previous post "but I would never allow a 6ms ISR in any of my products simply because the effects of a long/bad ISR tend to show up "once a month in a released product""

It all comes back to my distrust of so called "testing".

Erik

A quote from Joe? Yordon "after several years of experience, most programmers realize that the most important quality of a program is that it works". I am sure Joe ment "works without glitches"

Eriks statement:
"I do not care if a program works, if it is maintainable and fancy coding is not maintainable"
