Soul to the devil (.NET)

I sold my soul to the devil! I picked up my books on the .NET again.

As the Mac OS X fanatic it is hard indeed, the only hope is the Rotor (by Microsoft) and Mono by bunch of Aussie yahoos.

I wrote code in C# when the first .NET framework came out in Beta version (before Visual Studio .NET) and then J# and C# in ADEXS since their platform is based on .NET, but for last few months I enjoyed the bliss of Java on my Mac.

Well, I have to admit publicly that C# is awesome language and Visual Studio .NET rocks compared to anything Java (I still use NetBeans!), we will see what come out of that.

I am writing on Mac OS X emulation of Windows 2000 Pro (Visual PC 6).

(Update: Since this post Java frameworks and new features surpassed C#. The .NET Mono/Rotor never made it to Mac world. Java Groovy/Grails blew anything else out of the water in features.)

apt quotation..

“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein (author, aeronautical engineer, and naval officer)
