Well - Ive been in IT for near on 14 years now - and one thing that never ceases to surprise me is how little I know!!.

I'm just starting to get the idea of API and I see all this.

My proper job is business analays and mainly database automation. Never touched C or C++ skimmed Java (totally useless at it - only did it for 2 days), ASP n stuff - I'm most comfortable in VB / VBA.

Cut my teeth on DataEase (you youngsters wont remember that hehe) and pretty much a guru at that - but its outdated - now doing mostly VBA, it delivers up open-source for the company, VB source gets lost....


So your challenges are on a different scale to mine - I like the delivery of automating manual processes and interfacing and finding solutions to buisness needs - I suppose I'm miles away from reversing - but I understand the theory behind the pleasure you get.
