Where did you get the idea that I don't? I never said so. I am, after all, a software theorist myself (with programming as mostly a hobby). > Do you consider exercises in programming to be merely theory, as well, > though? Your statement, as is, is absolute nonsense. I am assuming > the existence of initiative in the reader. It is not nonsense but my own approach may have shown here. I rarely do any programmed exercises; instead, I try to learn theory that helps me in whatever I am currently working in, and I apply it in my projects where appropriate. (This did give me some trouble in some parts of my pre-masters education, but fortunately the other parts compensated.) -- %%% Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho % [EMAIL PROTECTED] % http://www.iki.fi/gaia/ %%% Taiteellisen ohjelmoinnin ystävien seura Toys - Ohjelmointi on myös taidetta http://www.cc.jyu.fi/yhd/toys/
