Coffee Programming

Need a written guide, can't really follow along with just the video when "programming" is so complex.

Hope that helps:

void getCoffee(unsigned char intensity)
{
  switch(intensity)
  {
    case 1:
    case 2:
    case 3:
      outputCoffee(intensity);
      break;

    default:
      outputMilk();
      break;
  }
}

I've been programming since the late 80's. I can remember setting the time on my parent's VHS so they could record a TV show.

I can't believe I've been leaving that off my resume all these years!

That's nothing, in the old days we used to program using analogue turn dials! That's when the hard core programmers were still around. You young whipper snappers have it easy with your buttons and digital displays.

I remember programming my grandmas rotary phone to make phone calls!

We used to have them like this. Look at those complex dials! Only an expert could cook like this.

It feels like I stepped through some sort of Magic Way Back Machine.

Actually, it seems he upgraded his site in 2008 and added that nifty top menu!

I wish I had the time to hire him as a DJ, just so I could shoot at him with a pellet gun when he showed up.
