There is a reason for it and it was very popular (and continues to be
so in Microsoft shops). Just because it seems silly or even is silly,
does not mean it is not important for you to understand it. I have not
found a ton of use or reason for it myself, but I could say that about
some of the things I have been paid to do in my career in the past
anyway. You have to understand that to be a professional you can't
always code things or use techniques that appeal to you personally.
Trust me, the guy is doing you a favor in showing you VB and all the
garbage that goes with it, if you want to work FOR SOMEONE as a
programmer - compromise is the best skill you can learn. If you think
your god's gift to IT then start your own company.

I have been playing with Objective C for the last week, and have a
few questions.
I have been reading through the Becoming an XCoder pdf and the user
Guids for XCode and I can't figure something out. In the guide it
gives you a sample program that calculates the area of a circle and
a rectangle, it says to press the build and go button and the
results will be displayed in the run log. I cannot find the runlog
box. I found a box called build results that displays the results,
errors and the returned state but not a box that displays the output
of the program. I have no errors in the code according to XCode. Do
I have to enable something to display the results or am I hitting
the wrong button?
I started the project as a command line utility like the file said,
could this maybe be an error or require me to enable some control? I
have never used a development environment before, I am used to
compiling with gcc and then running a.out. Thanks for the help,
overall XCode seems pretty good and Objective C is not hard to pick
up at all if you now C fairly well.
I am in a Visual Basic course right now and my teacher is having us
declare variables with Hungarian notation. I have been coding C and
Bash shell scripts in Linux for a few years and have never done it,
nor have I ever seen it in a book.
For those that may not know what this is, it is declaring the
variable type in the name; for example dblNumberOne or intTempOne. I
was just curious, this teacher seems to be pretty good but his code
sometimes makes no sense or he do things certain ways, just because
that is the way you are supposed to do them, giving us no reason for
it.
Thanks for the help.
