I let all spam in and delete such, one at a time. Sometimes there is something there that is interesting. I got a free printer that way. None of your private messages made it in. Maybe it is my ISP. I'll check if they are doing something. In the mean time, I have a second email address -> z505ed at yahoo.com Lets see if the Yahoo account works. I have tricky coder habit as well, but since some of my work is maintained by junior programmers, I now try to create straight forward clean code. Easier said than done. When in a hurry, the old habits come back. I'll check out the Bill Wagner book. -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Shamil Salakhetdinov Sent: Friday, November 06, 2009 10:33 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] Cyrillic to English character translation Hi Edward, I have sent you a private test message. Yes, "Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code" by Martin Fawler is a "must read" classic. I have only two C# books, which I'm trying to read from time to time (no time to read). 1) Effective C#: 50 Specific Ways to Improve Your C# By Bill Wagner 2) C# 3.0 in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition by Joseph Albahari and Ben Albahari There should be C# 4.0 editions to appear soon - better use them. You can get (at least) C# 2008 Express (and soon C#2010 Express) - they are free. <<< My friend likes to be tricky. But is most likely due too how his mind works, as opposed to ill intent. >>> Yes, I see - been there, done that, still doing it that way sometimes (not easy to escape "tricky coding habit") but the fact is that writing simple clean code is more complex business than writing "tricky code", and clean simple code is better from many points of view... <<< It seems my private message didn't make it to you. And your private message to me hasn't arrived. >>> Edward, I have got your private message, and I answered within one hour. Have a look at your e-mail box - it could have been moved to spam(?).

My friend likes to be tricky. But is most likely due too how his mind works, as opposed to ill intent. And I can usually untangle the code. He has done some Java, some "C", and we both were assembler programmers for awhile. I don't think he was into C++, but I don't know for sure. There was a python phase in there as well. Most of his C# work was using the 2003 version. And I have the enterprise C# 2003 compiler. Yet C# still escapes me. People say my C code looks like assembler. Thanks for letting me know about Martin Fowler. I agree with making code tricky is considered bad taste. I have looked at Martin Fowler web site already. This book of his looks interesting. Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code ISBN-10: 0201485672 I am always fixing other people's code. Any good C# books you can tell me about will be helpful. By the way. . . It seems my private message didn't make it to you. And your private message to me hasn't arrived. Once again Thanks. <<< snip >>> __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4579 (20091106) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.esetnod32.ru -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
