Over the past two and a half year (add ONE more year if university is accounted for :P ), I have been working strictly on JAVA and Linux platforms. There has always been some sort of animosity between our open source JAVA & LINUX teams and our Microsoft slaves (.NET Team). However, one of my workmate who has had shots at both JAVA and .NET kept insisting at how easy it was to do things in .NET rather than in JAVA. Throughout the past 6 months or so, I have been researching at what would be the next best language for me to learn. I had a dig around a year or so at PHP and it really has been a cruise. But PHP for me is meant to develop simple, lightweight applications. While some may argue that PHP is being used for Large Scale Enterprise applications, I do believe that its not where its got its strongholds.
So here I am finally embarking on my Final Year Project for my Post Graduation at the University of Technology of Mauritius. My choice for Final Year Project came to development of a University Timetabling and Scheduling software that would be used by UTM. This as a recognizance of what the UTM gave me as a student and also as a 99% guarantee that my software would be used in a production environment.
I have already set up the .NET Framework 3.5, with Visual Studio 2008 (along with SP1 ) and am now digging deep in "Beginning ASP.NET 3.5 in C# 2008 - From Novice to Professional". Hopefully, my quest for .NET insights will be satisfied.
