Forensic Translation - What Is it?
A style that currently is not advertised and probably under-pronounced on resume's is the ability to translate a old code-base into a up-to-date framework (whether it is a .Net framework or simply taking ForTran 77 and converting it to GNU-C). In either case, the process it the same. Forensic Translation is the ability of the programmer to read another language, deduce the methodology being incorporated and then successfully translating it to the new code-base. This process could take as little as 1 week or as long as several years. The major variable in this process is source informations direct usage of declarations. For the most part, the bracket languages (Java, C/C++/C#, AdaXX, etc) tend to have the ability to utilize an object that otherwise would be declared but is not. This process enables the reduction of resources for the compiler to have to declare for operation. Although, this is find great and dandy for stream-lining the execution process, this severly hampers
