AdGen training, day 1. I must say that after I looked at the first information made it seem like it was going to be yet another RDB programming tool and wouldn’t be hard to understand. Unfortunately, it has turned out differently.

From what I’ve understood from the training itself so far, it is quite a troublesome tool. Apart from that I think it’s a horrible idea to put username and password for a database straight in to the environment variables of windows and that the memory leaks have caused me to lose an hour of developing, I really can’t get my head around the tool.

Mind you, the logic of the code itself is fair enough. However, the way you have to walk to get to the desired end station is completely bogus. Something as basic as a label on the main window is a struggle, never mind raw pieces of code. Its interface seems to have a mind of its own, allowing or denying access to some parts of the model based on some weird quirks.

I have spent 6 hours trying to figure out how this piece of junk works and am honestly wondering who in their right mind wants to work with this stuff. (don’t you dare say "Well, you of course!". I even find JBuilder 3 more interesting to code in)
