.NET Framework I've about gotten down all the essentials for using the .NET framework for developing applications. It took a little getting used to but once you get a good hold on what does what in Visual Studio then Intellisense and the debugger seem to do the reset for you. Whats more is there are so many developers out there that finding answers to questions is much simpler than PHP, Perl problems I used to face.

Today I did a good deal of PHP programming on one of my own web applications at Best of Baton Rouge. I'd started tinkering with the development of a databased system for this website late last year and have had to put it to the side while job hunting. I wanted a break from my .NET development so I picked it up today.(one of the benefits of being unemployed is you can program whatever the hell you want to) After a week or so of daily work in Visual Studio 2005 with that wonderful debugger and Intellisense it was suprisingly a pain in the butt. I imagine that anyone used to the wonderful tools available for .NET development would turn a little red working with PHP and a not so great CASE tool like Dreamweaver.

I'm curious about how fast I can put up a good ASP.NET site so this week I'll see about setting up a live ASP.NET site to compare development speeds and results.  ¶ 11:34 PM
