I knew AWT wasn’t right
I watched a developer talk show on Microsoft’s website. The interviewee was the danish guy who wrote turbo pascal and delphi. They talked on various tech and non-tech topics. One of the things that caught my attention was that AWT was such a terrible GUI framework for JAVA. Aha. I programmed almost 3 years java back in college. I did a lot of my GUI work with AWT. Back then JAVA was so new and OOP was so attractive that you don’t hear a lot criticism about AWT. But it was such a painful experience. So I got good programmer instinct. I knew AWT wasn’t that right.
Now I have been an embedded software engineer for 3 years. God, I miss JAVA…
