I did a lot of coding in vb.net today, in some ways it reminds me of my kiddie days and is oh so basic, but in others it is a bit of a mare.
Its when they leave out certain aspects of OOP that are genuinely useful and include bits that buttfuck you sideways.
Meh. I'm quite fond of .net, but the free spirited cross-platform Java championing warrior inside me can't accept the point of a framework that isn't cross platform. They added a layer of interpretation to mimic Java, and seemingly forgot the point. Sure it standardised the libraries of Microsofts >9000 languages, but if you are going to build a ground-up platform, don't only support it on one-fucking-OS you actual bunch of mervins.
Erm, anyway.
How is it coming together? Any particular problem areas? Jacob is a much more experienced .net coder than moi but I'm happy to help anyhow should you need a different perspective on something.
