Web Handling & Converting

I was talking about programming with my son, a recent grad from a robotic program in a tech school.  We could barely communicate even though I prided myself with ample experience programming in assembly language, Logo, Basic, Fortran, Pascal, C and several different industrial drives and controllers and even with 7 axis robots.  Apparently, these are as ancient as Latin or Sanskrit.  He said “what about C++?”  That was just showing up as I was finishing my last bit of schooling in 1990 was my reply.  Seems I haven’t kept up because virtually all programming languages now use objects, hence the acronym Object Oriented Programming.  While I’ve only had one occasion since then to even think about programming, it did get me thinking.  Are there areas in my own professional arena that I haven’t kept up on?  Am I, as they say, over the hill?  I am forgetting faster than I am learning?

Well, you don’t have to worry about this because all you have to do is to attend my Web Handling and/or Winding classes next month in Philadelphia hosted by AIMCAL’s Converting School while I still remember stuff.  This is the best web training ever, anywhere.  Also, you could go to the ICE (International Converting Exhibition) tradeshow along with me and ten thousand others to learn about web manufacturing, converting, machinery, materials and many other must-know areas of our trade.   Finally, bringing my doddering and wandering thoughts back, why not learn about how industrial controls work?  I can not say enough about Clarence Klassen’s Drives in Web Handling and Converting course.  His May 10-11 course in Philadelphia is spot on and his communication skills are almost without peer.  I know because I took it last year to help keep me from obsolescence.
