you're on to the answer
Q) who is the best artist - whether that is painting, music, movies, literature, or whatever? A) whoever the artist's peers choose as best from amongst their ranks. Note also, that there's a new 'best artist' every year.

Hmmm ..... "The Tao Of Programming" take a peek at the simplified online version In the early years of Win95, I've had the pleasure of reading the book "The Tao of Programming" by Geoffrey James ..... It was an entertaining spoof of the taoist texts ... It's "subtlety" helped me deal with the many different "forms and shapes of programmers" that I've encountered over the years ... Having being involved with this "art form" for quite a while, I find these movie quotes applicable to many "master programmer" aspirants : "There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path" - Morpheus, The Matrix "I don't know exactly. I just see the code in my head, I can't explain it." - Stanley Jobson, Swordfish I could relate to the character Stanley Jobson as there are times when I couldn't explain it either ..... Rgds |

droope I would say the answer needs to be akin to the jeep philosophy just enough essential parts a program: it must function it must be efficient it must be cost effective it must be useful it must be easy to implement users will adore it the person who can do this is the best program-mer therefore the answer is ... MER logic is fun, eh? 
PS: when did Barry K change his name to MER...?
my 2nd contender would be Max Reason of xbasics fame http://www.maxreason.com/ Aitch
