I was laughing to myself about a statement i read andersH make regarding how difficult it is to learn a new programming language relative to the challenges of learning the api, the way in which you use the language to do something with the system in which its programs will be used. he said its 3% of the work to learn the language, and 97% of the work to understand the api. What tickled my funny bone was that i had three brilliant lists of words from a friend, english words, words that took me excuciating effort over many years before i could properly use them. These lists to me are andersH's 3% as applied to english. They enables access to the 97% we take for granted.. It made me happy that i can use them mostly properly today, sad because there are not all that many smart and technically savy people in my life who share that facility. I want more friends who have this down.. and more clients willing to have their eyes opened to what happens when you get this.
