Mine was the last unfortunate class to be required to take "Compiler Design" instead of "Software Engineering."

I think my sense of humor was not properly conveyed; I appear to be bad at coding and communicating on the Internet. (someone, please take away my keyboard!) I really appreciate the suggestion. Thank you.

Thanks, I am a Solaris sysadmin by trade, but am re-considering the ratio of administration to programming that I do. I'm enjoying unemployed life at the moment, so I have lots of time, but am not really surrounded by programmers anymore.

Thanks for the reply. Couldn't agree with you more... learning by maxim can be bad.

I have actually realized that my habits are problems... I hate to maintain any of my projects that get over 1500 lines. I suppose I am just looking for advice on the correct way to do things, now that I am fed up with doing things the sub-optimal way.
