it has taken some getting used to but I'm getting better at it. C# is a
pretty cool language. I don't ever see me going away from CF but .NET is
a powerful framework.

I know more and more houses that are making the shift from CF to .NET. A
lot
of the client we have did not want to use CF so I slowly moved towards
ASP,
PERL, PHP and now everyone wants to use .NET. I really think its the way
to
go. You can do everything with the language you are comfortable with
C++,
C#, VB, ASP, J++ all in the same IDE using the same framework! I think
its
smart. Can't wait to see MS new OS code named Longhorn I believe. Its
going
to use a new GUI element called Sparkle.
Hmmm, I wonder what that will do for the GUI? I know what it is going to
do.
But I'm sure you can guess what it will do and you know it will be part
of
the .NET framework.

I just had 3 weeks of training on it, and was very impressed with the
environment Visual Studio and the framework provide. I plan on doing
much
of my new work in it as well, as our shop is slowly migrating completely
over the .net from cf. We will still be doing maintenance and a little
new
work here and there in cf, but .net is the horse that rocks the rocking
horse house, or something.
I'm not saying one is better than the other for everyone, but I know
what I
prefer. To each his own, eh?

I went to a dot.net seminar on Friday. I've got to admit that a lot of
the
stuff dot.net has to offer is pretty tempting. I was creating a wish
list
for CFMX as I was listening to the presenter. I started thinking, I've
been
doing cf dev for about 6 years and I know the strengths and weaknesses
of
the language fairly well by now. How long will it take to learn the
same in
dot.net. One of the major things to know about a language is all of the
"gotcha's", like the locking issues from cf5, the issues with CFC
addresses,
structcopy vs duplicate,etc. You can sit and be wowed by the presenter
at
the seminar, but what's he hiding about the weaknesses of the language.
I'm the only holdout in my all Microsoft office right now. I'm
melancholy
about changing development platforms because I hold out hope that one
day
we'll see that being 100% Microsoft may not be the most intelligent
thing to
do. I don't hold much hope for Mono. It will be nice that the vb guy
and I
can share "solutions" and have different projects in there, but then
again
the vb guy doesn't have much idea about oop and doesn't seem to want to
change his programming style.
Arrrgh. I'm going to have to start giving up a bunch of free time to
learn
this.
