The Dark Side

Well I guess I’ve officially turned to the dark side. The primary platform I’m using for development at work is now Microsoft .net 4.

C# is a pretty nice language, and Visual Studio 2008 is bearable if you install Resharper, but I’ll be honest. I hated it at first. My first project was creating services exposed via WCF. WCF is a nice web services framework, but there was a pretty big learning curve on how to get everything working properly. There are also challenges when trying to call Java based web services through a WCF client, but I’ll get into that some other time.

I did do some scripting work using IronPython as part of my service, so who knows there could be hope for me yet!
