Yeah, just do it! Whatever your route is, get started and keep learning. It does not matter what language, platform, or environment you choose. If it going to make you happy and improve your skills, go for it.

BTW, I prefer python

Regarding my comment about channel 9, here's the link Channel 9, nice for keeping track of new developments without spending the time to read (who has the time)

For asp, there's also http://www.asp.net/, which also has video tutorials (nice for getting a feel of the technology)

Wow goose, you couldn't spot a mis-type?

Wow Kyle, your post makes no sense?

It does, it's in reply to his last post directed at me. I'll be sure to quote next time.

twasn't a mis-type. twas a brainfart that goose pointed out

exactly, and hence kyle's post (asserting with a question that goose can't spot a typo when that's exactly what he did) doesn't make sense

I wrote a small MDI app in managed C++ a while ago. It was painful.

Brainfart is possible, it is that time of the year But in any case, there's no way he could have not known what I meant

?

don't act dumb, i've been diagonally reading this whole thread for like 3 seconds once every few days it gets a reply and i know what kyle's saying although as i previously remarked, what he wrote and what he actually meant to say are two very different things

executive summary: this whole thread is made of fail and misunderstanding, we are now discussing llamas.

Gotta love the llama

I dont like them at all. They stink and they spit....and they are stupid and ugly. They probably live in <<add your stereo-typed town here>>.

Yeah, I know people like that.

I know people like that too ...

llamas are cool. If they drank beer, they would be the same as Joe Plumber (and vote Obama)

It turns out its C# and I have 6 months to be proficient in it.

you can be pretty jacked up in a week okay, maybe 2 weeks if you read really slowly

Tracey - really make use of the Delphi assignments. The interface is similar, the functionality requested is the basic one's and you can immediately see if you have the correct result or not.

C# in 6 months will not be a problem Tracey.

Thanks Andre

Yea 6 months will be a breeze. I say dabble with the framework, think up some applications that you would most likely be facing and try make simplistic examples of them (using the google machine as a helper of course). Have fun, C# is great fun

Also check out codeproject dot com, they're around the most useful .NET resource i've found.

I work as a systems analyst and my main work is in ASP.Net with VB.Net.
I only completed my degree now, but can tell you that .Net is a breeze working with.
If you can master the second year programming modules, then you won't have any problems with .Net at all.

Thanks Kyle and Neill. First I need to find time to learn .Net.

it's quite possible to code in c# by example (surrounding code and "intellisense" autocomplete) without having actually learnt it btw 9 times out of 10 it will just work, and without manual memory management to trip you up, it'll probably even work without problems.

about finding the time, 6 months doesn't sound too bad!!!
