So far, it hadn't happened. Of course, I'm just starting to get into the meat of it. Between Java and C#, though, I'd have to say I prefer C#'s syntax, especially when it comes to properties.

Yes, me too. I hardly use Java these days.

I'm actually feeling a bit better about it today - I'm actually understanding how its put together. This project is also my first experience with CVS - three of us have been working on pretty much the same files for the past two days. We just just have to make sure we update before we commit, so we don't introduce conflicts.

I am currently grappling with remote web services for my new product web
[snip]
Anyway, the man who runs the host I'm using is a very experienced .NET/C# guy and he sent me a C# solution in minutes, that does exactly what I need and was about 10 lines of code. Every day I learn something more...:-)

What did it do?

Our system uses Apache, Struts, and Velocity, along with Java and Oracle. I like the way it's laid out, but there are a lot of different pieces in different places. I'm beginning to understand MVC, but it seems that C# is a little more straightforward in that as well.

I like the "simplicity" of C#. I think straightforward is a good word...

Well, it fits nicely. Model = database or objects, View = ASP.net page, Controller = code-behind file. In our environment, Model = database or objects, View = Velocity template, Controller = Struts action. Of course, for each object you've got to have a service, then for each template you have to define the fields in the struts config file, the the labels are in an ApplicationResources.properties file... !!!

I guess that's all the stuff that happens behind the scenes when you say "AutoEventWireup=true"... :)

So there's hope for me yet - cool! (Of course, this will probably be my last "hands in the code" assignment, especially if I make E-7. That'll put me into management at that point.)

Shhhh!!! Don't tell Doc.... :-)

You know he wakes up when someone uses his name... ;)

The other day, we were talking about something new that the customer wanted. They didn't think we could do it in a month, so I said, "Well, is there a central, essential piece that we could build, along with an infrastructure that would support the future requirements?"

One of the developers looked at me and said "Man - you sound like a project manager!" (As it turns out, it's not nearly as complex as we though, so we can give them the essentials plus an assortment of bells and whistles in this first iteration - sweet!)
