Hi Jim -- Thank you - we're getting into agreement on conceptual, 'Zen' points - good news :) By "the right tool for the right job" I mean making a well balanced choice in a given (development) context. No doubts the same job can be done (right) many ways. Awareness is a "must have" but not enough - Good Working Experience is what matters most. If a Good Working Experience is lacking for a set of selected "right tools" for the "right job" then the job should be delegated. Thank you. -- Shamil Среда, 13 февраля 2013, 13:25 -08:00 от "Jim Lawrence" <accessd at shaw.ca>: >Hi Shamil: > >What you have stated is very true.
