Re: struggling with Design -Paradigms

Lisp is not exactly the most common starting place.

i know and it does not mean that it should not be. heard of SCHEME ?

It is not procedural,
and most of the 'problems' that can be solved with OO 'solutions' are
problems that are most typically seen in procedural approaches to problems:
to whit: functional decomposition. Therefore, to move to an OO solution,
you are going to have to learn something procedural. It is a prerequisite.

i did not get it


OOA-D -> OOP using Eiffel/Ruby -> C++

?

I'm a little biased on this point. I think you dump C++ completely. Go to
C# (oh, OK, you could go to Java too ;-).

i guessed it earlier. NO, i am really tankful for you read my post
and C# comes from house of Microsoft, best known for producing 3rd
class software. i can guess he (Bill Gates) must have ordered his
employees to create a technically disgusting beast out of C and C++

remember i am not speaking against your advice, HECK i don even know
why you have named your self "Nick Malik [Microsoft] " rather than
"Nick Malik"

I'm sure there are a lot of jobs
in other languages, but the last time I checked, the most common languages
for hiring new developers into the field were in established places like C#
and Java. (Learning either will help with the other... double your
chances... learn both).

when you searched for last time? and where ? what keywords you use ?


i am searching right now for jobs in India with Keywords C++ and Java.
majority of jobs are for programmers carrying either: C++ or Java (in
both cases, along with OOA-D and who can comprehend at least half of
DPs)

i see C# & .NET programmers belong to just 20% of the jobs here. e.g
try "monsterindia.com".


Your career won't be defined by a programming language.

i agree, 100%

In fact,
I'd be surprised if you wrote code in the same language for more than a few
years before switching to another one. It happens all the time.
