Um, no, .Net is not bad at all. Everything, well 70% of windows apps, use .Net so it can't suck to bad :-) And I seem to recall a small project to run .Net apps on *nix machines.
However, its learning curve is needlessly high and ms will say that's because it can do anything, but as a language (an interpreted one at that) it's the holy grail to be able to do anything and still be usable. Look at something like PHP (not really object based in the beginning and parasitized functions are horrid) but it's a good example of something easy to use (so everyone can pick it up) and powerful if you know what you're doing (like javascript). Some fake PHP functions to illustrate my point: dothis(needle, haystack); dothis2(haystack, needle); Parameters are not consistent. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Midhat Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2010 10:59 AM To: MooTools Users Subject: [Moo] Mootools equivalent for jQuery dataFilter Hi I have some mootools ajax code that now needs to work with ASP.Net 2.0 and 3.5 framework web services. The framework 3.5 WSs wrap returned arrays in a 'd' object while 2.0 services dont. To counter this, jQuery has a dataFilter parameter to its jQuery.ajax function (http:// encosia.com/2009/06/29/never-worry-about-asp-net-ajaxs-d-again/). Is there any such feature in mootools. If there isnt and I have to roll my own. Where should I start
