C# at last - or is it at least ?

Finally I get down to writing some code using c#...

Syntax similar – guessing the ‘equivalent’ names for Java constructs
(without book/reference) hard.

IDE ? SharpDevelop which is rather good – but playing with custom
assemblies it damn too easy to mess up your installation of
IDE / .NET and make a mess. Too fragile.

In the java world unless you start deleting files /
sub-dirs in the JDK root you can’t really mess things up.
Evidently this tight coupling with the system is the
underlying reason for this fragility.

I started working on a small utility in C#
(no more details without a Non Disclosure Aggrement).
Desktop based – will migrate to become a web based.

The idea is it will become a showcase for all constructs
on the language from Threading to Networking,
XML,and in its web form ajax and the rest.

Phoenix ... rising

Well surprise surprise. Like all IT/CS people 'do as I say - not as I do',
I neglected to back up the previous 'instance' of this blog.

Hence with the blogger/ google merger my blog was stuck in limbo.. Google /
arcgive.org nothing can find it. OK I admit it was a half cooked attempt
to note down 'stuff' and was not updated since July ? but still it is 'inconvenient'

Lesson learnt (or should I say re-enforced?)

Funny thing is that after some digging around it emerged that the old blog
is indeed up and runing,but disconnected from this account. Go figure...

Hence I will 're-port' the old posts...
