I've been working in .NET for about a year and a half now. Once we started to ignore the usual examples and try to use the framework the way Anders intended, it's become a real pleasure to use. We call a Commons Chain port from our code-behinds and let Commands do all the heavy-lifting. We use Subversion for version control, MySQL for the database, iBATIS for the data access layer, and Spring.Web for dependency injection. Once you plug JetBrains Resharper into VStudio, I pretty much feel like I'm coding in Java again. :) The platforms are very much alike; core skills transfer. Of course, for a sanity check, we still use Linux boxes to run Subversion and MySQL. We haven't done it yet, but we keep thinking of putting Mono on one of the Linux boxes, so that we have another server for testing. Mono turns ASP.NET into a "run anywhere" environment too. -Ted. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
