..look at Microsoft, they stole everything they have, do you think they will honor those who they stole from.. It is well said Mark.
well said. I am sorry I could not agree with you
"..as a programmer you have to steal, but mostly steal the good stuff.." in your statement. It is not stealing, it is a learning process. Some programmer learn reading book and some learn looking at other programmer's codes. I love to be rated on the second group. I walk through other people's code if I see better way to improve it, definitely refine and clean their code
then move on. This is how it works. If we say it is stealing, then we are against the sprit of OOP. We got to reuse tested code. If we use other people's code, then we are supporting OOP, contributing to develop robust code, and enhancing learning process.
Come on, give me a break, we are not stealers
I don't think you need to write their names int he docs. Besides I bet the assessors have seen the same design and code before I stand with you on this Mark
