It’s getting more and more difficult for me, really. For business reasons, I sometimes do some Excel VBA macros. VBA is pretty straightforward and quite easy.
For my studies, I am again enrolled in a Java course. Now, Java is a beautiful language, but sometimes quite strict and therefore not always straightforward.
Finally, I often do some PHP hacks – like now, I am currently trying to develop my first WordPress widget.
PHP / Java / VBA: Although both PHP and VBA are script-like languages, and although both VBA and Java are object-oriented, I almost went mad today – until after 2 hours or so I remembered that in PHP, to concatenate two strings, you use the dot-operator . – while in Java, you can use +, and in VBA I think it’s &.
What a mess! I am totally lost on this…. It will be funny when I have to write my next Java examination – I will probably do no VBA and no PHP for the two months before it….
