@alexbrooklyn I think he'll lose interest waaay before then. At least I hope.
If he gets to the point of classes, methods and properties then I'll let him write the code himself. -
@platypus "Just wrap everything in the main method"
Don't forget to teach him principles and design stuff -
'no. Function won't fly here. We definitely need a method. In fact - a few of them! Some public and some private ones. What do you think?'
that'd be my answer :) -
cst199220555yThis happened with my dad once when he was in a rented car.
The driver just told him - "I'm the driver, you don't tell me how to drive".
Worked.
What the fuck has one of my clients been up to?! Every request he makes he suggests we might want to do it via a function.
"We need to ensure this is password protected. Maybe wrap the calls in a function."
I wander if he goes into the bakery and says, "I need a loaf of bread---use flour."
All I can think of is that someone influential in his life is an FP zealot and he's latched onto this word.
But, I quite like FP. Maybe I'll refactor everything to static classes to meet the requirement.
Hope to Christ he doesn't find out about HTML, etc. "Maybe add a CSS rule."
