You can do what ever you want to do with whatever technology you care to use. I work with java web services that provide bare data. I munge that together as needed in a WCF for a variety of consumers. Some of them are aspx pages others are just console apps. Oh yeah there is a lot of java work in other tools we sell that consume as well. >From my POV we just create a set of rules that allow users to accomplish work. You can tweak the rules to fit your toolbox as needed. If you don't like the tools when you open the box go out and get new ones. As newer tools are created that fit a need you buy them. .NET fits that last statement very well. Each new version fills a prior void in a toolbox. If you find ruby and or python a better fit run with it. Different tools give better capabilities for different needs. Pick what you need and evaluate annually if it is still a good fit or not. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer CIMSgts 901.246-0159 cell _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
