Re: New Programmer


 

It's my opinion that ?you should learn how to code without having access to S+ because you'll learn better habits that won't bite you from being spoiled with some of what S+ can do.

This conversation is different now that S#Pro is in the wild but I don't think that is the OPs level.? By that I mean, if the OP were a traditional software developer with OO programming experience, then a 3-series is a MUST. But if you're coming from scratch, the ST-CP is a great box to learn on.

Agreed.? While there's obviously some value in being forced to use the basics on an older processor like the ST-CP, a programmer really needs to learn how to use the more current facilities that are available in order to deliver a real solution to the client.

I don¡¯t get it, it doesn¡¯t support simpl+.? Most every receiver and advanced AV device uses simpl+ inside its modules.? This means he can¡¯t load or use most modules from the Crestron database.

Yep, I think learning on an ST-CP is a great idea.

The newer platforms are also far more forgiving in most respects than the older platforms.
