The past couple of days at work have been a humilitating experience for me. Why? Because I’m trying to re-learn Visual C++ for an internal project. I haven’t touched this language since I was in high school (which is over ten years now). To make matters worse, what I’m trying to accomplish isn’t really even a simple task for that language; I’m converting an open source application into a COM object.

I have definietly come to respect those developers who can program in this language. It’s definitely very powerful being able to directly affect a system using the standard MFC classes and API calls at the native code level.
