Here's the latest movie I enjoyed...
Star cast is not famous, but its a good story... And specially the guy playing the cop has acted very well.
These real artists deserve to be famous more than the idiots who play superheroes today.

Introducing, and announcing the readiness of the FACT protocol franework for software developers.
FACT is Franework for Application Communication via TCP.. It is a messaging protocol that wraps around TCP,, and acts as an agent between applications that need to communicate via request/response, and subscription/broadcast mechanisms.
Applications that use FACT need not bother with TCP communication, or with interprocess or network communication; FACT does all that work. They can access remote resources just as simply as they would access a locally available resource: a simple method call, and simple callback handlers.
With all their IT experience, most serious developers are able to develop backend and desktop applications with or without RDBMS support. Communication between sub-processes or with the presentation layer will no more be a challenge if they develop around FACT. All they need to do is exchange a FACT API with the relevant teams, and their applications can integrate seamlessly as long as everyone adheres to the simple protocol of FACT.

Well, there was no war. The opponent showed some respect, so there was no reason to fight.
The trouble wasn't the opponent. The trouble was the people who took advantage of the opponent. All I had to do was be my straightforward self, and their attack fizzed out.
The classes have gone pretty well. I've rediscovered the trainer in me. Perhaps that is why I have promised my participants one more, final session on the coming Thursday, March 14, 2019. That's when I'll be introducing them to some advanced concepts.
I'll talk at length about Reflection in .NET, and provide them with a sample program to demonstrate its use.
Finally, I'll talk about dynamism -- the ability to dynamically create, compile and execute programs at runtime. In layman terms, the ability to make your program write and run another program on the fly! I've decided to discuss this only because I know these trainees may well be expected to use the concepts in their project. And while I'd have loved to provide them samples, I've been told not to.
Of course, they need to learn, discover and implement some things for themselves. That's when they would really learn, enjoy developing, and gain from the experience.
If they really walk that path, and ever hit a dead-end, all they have to do is turn around, and they'll see me. And if they've really done their homework, I'll propel them around the wall as best as I can.
Over the last few days I've been basking in the warmth of a unique opportunity extended to me: training new recruits in a programming language I've come to love.
I call it a unique opportunity not because it is a novelty for me. In fact, I've been a corporate trainer for quite some time in my IT career since 1996, when I was also a consulting developer. I've also trained students, who came out fresh from varsities, in practical nuances that their scholastic syllabus hardly addressed.
I call it a unique opportunity only because this is the first time my current employers (from 2005) have ever asked me to take some time out of my otherwise hectic yet monotonous schedule to officially train four new recruits fresh out of their varsity, in a programming language I've recently taught myself and come to love.
Over the last week, I've really enjoyed myself teaching, preparing notes, and creating fully functional sample programmes to support my lessons.
I'm glad I took this opportunity when it came, and I'm glad I made the effort I did, because it has helped me as much as it may have helped my students. For one, it has given me time to reconcile and consolidate my knowledge.
I only hope that my current students have been enjoying the classes as much as I've been enjoying preparing for them. I hope they take home more than just knowledge, I hope they take home my experience. And I hope they use it to their benefit.
The makers have spent a lot, but the movie fails to impress.
Sound/Visual effects: good (wish it had been 3D)
Everything else: silly, unreal, twisted.
Overall impact: 4/10
