@matigo Glass half empty, eh?
@phoneboy I’m sorry, but I think that is both wrong and foolish. The barriers that exist are being lowered, and the fact that they are not barriers to some of the enthusiasts is being recognised.

@phoneboy You’re not suggesting the few who do care, apart from tinkerers and explorers, need to wait for permission from the rest? Of course there is friction, now. With luck and hard work, it will lessen.
@jws Thanks. The Videira Lopes book does look interesting. Added to a wish list.
@jws Maybe. For now, a solid base of one language will be what I am aiming at with a deeper understanding of OOC and interactions among components.

@jws Bingo. It’s the structure I really need. Scaffolding for the things I then dip into. That’s what I think I am missing.

@jws I’m sure you’re right and I value your advice. I think I’m going to dial back the exploration for a bit and go back to basics. I need to get a deeper understanding. Maybe start a proper online course rather than just dipping into things.
