@Tomas, @Martin, I already knew those links... Thanks anyway. Actually I went a bit further an implemented the same "application" on different technologies so that developers could evaluate for themselves the wonders of "downsides" of each technology... plus detailed explanations of how the code works.... Unfortunately I cannot share that code as is property of the company I work for.... But the problem is those who will take the final decision will take into account more "political" reasons that things like "development speed", "code quality", "code re-usability" and any other adds you throw at them...
@Martin, Congratulations! Hope I can say the same in a few months.
