I am Evan Harper, a student developer.
At the moment I'm studying Model-View-Controller, Model-View-ViewModel, design patterns, rapid application development. There is so much more to learn.
I cut my teeth on ANSI C from hacking Diku Mud ca. 2003. These days, I vastly prefer C#, though C++ will do in a pinch. Don't under-rate Javascript, an astonishingly versatile and practical language.
Hobbies: game design, non-fiction & technical writing, history, chess.
Education: Fanshawe College.
Current employer (September 2012): Richard Ivey School of Business.
All opinions are mine alone.

What is the basis for the claims that the word “Israel” means “Exiled for their sins”? Well, for arguments sake, one could always say that Israel or a name similar to it came first from some other source, and then the authors of Genesis created a new etymology more suitable for their own purposes. A kind of "how the leopard got its spots" story, y'know? That said, I've never heard of this "exiled for their sins" business, and like you said it sounds way too pat. |

Why was the US so against Japanese aggression in China but did nothing about Germany in Europe? Seriously? The US began selling vast quantities of arms to the Allies in September 1939 ('Cash and Carry'), bartered 50 warships to the British a year later ('Destroyers for Bases'), and finally just started giving them vast quantities of munitions in March 1941 ('Lend-Lease'). In Summer 1941 American troops relieved the British in Iceland, and US naval forces began an undeclared but very real war against U-Boats in the North Atlantic. Strange way to do "nothing!" |

Were there reasons for Japan to go to war with US aside from US owning Philippines? You can believe that, but I don't know that it has much historical support. The Philippines were attacked because of their position astride Japanese supply lines from the Dutch East Indies, not primarily because they were an objective in themselves.You are also going to have difficulty in coming up with a scenario where the US not only grants Philippine independence, but actually take a "you're on your own, kid" attitude in the event that an attack on the Philippines threatens US strategic interests in the entire Pacific. |
