A salute to Virgil Search Team

Well having now spent my last day at Matrix Consulting can say, without having to come to hear me say thank you, that big, etc.. the past three years in the group's search of Virgil were very beautiful. We often talk of Italian firms as entities that ape the New American Economy, which are ready to copy everything but not able to create anything.

I invite you to look at how it changed the interface of the search engine Virgilio last year. This is the work of the good guys, that despite their flaws, have the qualities and a passion for their tasks that I have found very few people along the Boot.

I'd like to make their names, but privacy prevents me, I would also not my fault that one day their emails were studded with absurd or unnecessary questions.

I tell you that if you talk to discover that they are normal people, not if they pull it and are always willing to lend a hand in technology to those who ask.

Some of them have blogs, but it is not mine to reveal the url, because others do not have them so busy they can not create it, and still others are too busy refining techniques on SEO blog earlier.

Well hello to all the Search, and even the super head, that despite the degree that covers a person is always available and does not mind moments of hilarity with his subjects.

Bye bye

Another problem is the presence of temporary variables, which do nothing but increase the risks of bugs and may be replaced by code self-explanatory, in the form of a private method of the class.

The following is an example to better clarify the concept:
