Crossing Over to the Dark Side
Well, I've done it. I've crossed over. To .NET.I will continue to be a complete open-source junkie of course, butduring the work hours, I will no longer be working with PHP and Python.I will now be working with .NET and SharePoint.
I was presented with a rather good reason for this actually:
"Using SharePoint gives our clients a tremendous amount of security –they can trust that if, for whatever reason, something were to happen tous, their software could still be serviced by someone else." That'scertainly justifiable and understandable. That's a pretty good ideaactually. I like it.
After looking into ASP.NET, I was actually quite surprised. The code isa lot cleaner than PHP. It looks rather powerful actually.
Anyway, that's why I've crossed over. No hard feelings :)
