I will also try my best not to contribute to the religious war taking place between the two prevalent error handling factions, i.e. exceptionalists and value returners. I rather want to counter misinformation about return values and help to overcome some persistent prejudice.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/juergenriemer/~4/Jy47aQwr8M0" height="1" width="1"/> Tue, Feb 1st 2011, 09:28 GMT http://www.juergenriemer.com/posts/view/how-and-why-return-values-work-for-me http://www.juergenriemer.com/posts/view/how-and-why-return-values-work-for-me http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juergenriemer/~3/iLl1xkmNu88/a-tribute-to-all-mothers-facts-about-raising-kids Growing kids is definitely no full time job, it is a lifetime job.

Don't get me wrong, I am rather conservatively oriented but facts are facts, just as the world won't flatten again.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/juergenriemer/~4/iLl1xkmNu88" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, Aug 2nd 2010, 10:20 GMT http://www.juergenriemer.com/posts/view/a-tribute-to-all-mothers-facts-about-raising-kids http://www.juergenriemer.com/posts/view/a-tribute-to-all-mothers-facts-about-raising-kids http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/juergenriemer/~3/U-GpChFNrec/how-to-truthfully-stay-dry "An article about Don�t Repeat Yourself?
