Have you looked at mvc 3. This is far superior to anything. You have complete encapsulation of everything. The huge benifit of c# is it is used in programming a desktop app or web app or silverlight. It isn't a one compiler compiles all its a one language fits all compliers. Plus you can use

I am in a similar boat with some clients that utilizing the flash API, I was fortunate enough to tell them they would need to switch to javascript in the future. While it would take some work, I could move to another flash based API within the application. If the client is blaming you for

I understand you are angry about them depreciating the flash api, but 2 years is a long time in technology. I am sure you can find some angry cobalt developers. Also I don't know where this illusion about microsoft comes from, they have dumped tons of projects, want to talk about a sinking
