After having 9 months off from doing .net (travelling, bumming and then a 3 month contract role as an architect in a coldfusion shop) I finally got myself a role doing what I love doing best – playing with .net and c#.
In the last 4 weeks I’ve been researching and prototyping apps that use
- .net 3.5
- ado.net entity framework
- ado.net data services – including .net, ajax and silverlight client libraries
- Silverlight 2.0
- Visual Studio for Software Testers – Web Testing
It’s been awesome to have the time and resources to touch across all of these technologies to enjoy their benefits and to loath the limitations.
All in all I reckon all of the technologies are a great addition to the .net stack and look forward to seeing them mature with each new release.
I look forward to documenting my findings as I find time to re-work them into don’t-give-away-IP examples.
