I design & program (C++) custom applications in Minneapolis. My interests lie in OOD and now patterns. I used to think of myself as an OO person who works in C++. . . until I heard JimCoplien speak on the multi-paradigms in C++. Now I desire to be a C++ developer who knows all of the paradigms of C++ ( OO, templates, procedural, etc. ) and knows how/when to apply them in my designs.

There's so much to learn, but I get to my goals by persistent reading, studying, and applying. I find most people (in all professions) want to be at a higher level, but not enough to work for it.

I have forged a position for myself within my company: ReuseRepository Manager. I proposed the idea, and I was granted the authority--as long as I remain productive in day-to-day projects.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to manage this project. This is an excellent opportunity to apply theory, develop ideas/techniques, and experiment in a real-life/business-setting "lab." I hope to write a paper or two on my experiences and submit them. Any offers to publish me?

If you read Software Development magazine, note that Racko Roland used my letter (from "Randy C") to start into his current discussion on an organized program of reuse.

I hate to bother busy and public people, so any questions are infrequent, succinct, and pertinent. My sincere thanks to JimCoplien and JohnVlissides for responding to my recent questions via email.

My hobby is keeping and breeding freshwater tropical fish. I've bred over 100 species in five years.
