SeanBateman:
Also dude I am not a real moderator I am a pretend moderator, sorry.
Grawsith:
Damn. I get it. It's just that i instantly thought of this after posting on "I like fish". apologies for my laziness. Are thread's movable, or do i just start over?
Scytale:
I'm not strictly a code monkey (I'm a Materials Engineer) but I spent most of my day coding it seems. Which suits me fine since I enjoy it, unless its repetitive crap.
My department has nicknamed me the "SQL bitch", seems thats what I spent most of my day doing. I always get phone calls with crap like
"Hey can you get some info on... from ... database for me"
So frustrating. I'm probably the only engineer in our group that nows how to query the data base, since it stores stuff like quality and production figures it's kind of important to get the info out. Everyone at work used to use Microsoft Access, but the IT department banned it (something to do with security issues). So everyone is lost without drag and drop querries. We do have an OLAP/BI suite called SAS but it's pretty clunky and not many people like to use it.
So I've spent the last month on all this web based report generation stuff. To automate a bunch of the commonly asked for stuff. Now I'm in the process of fine tuning it based on the feedback I'm getting I spent most of today sortin through emails saying stuff like, "change the x-axis scale on this graph" or "can you display this as a ratio not a percentage" and crap like that.
If you haven't done any programming for a while you might want to try something easier then a web browser. I don't know if C# is the best langauge for stand alone apps either, if I was coding something like a web browser I'd use C++ that would make it run a big quicker
Grawsith:
Well, I'm using Visual C# Express. You can pretty much make a barebones browser in 3 minutes (click, insert browser, click, insert buttons, click, code).
But I wanna use C#, 'cos it just feels natural to me.
Scytale:
Ahh ok I thought you were designing it from the ground up.
