Crossing Over to the Dark Side

January 2009

Well, I've done it. I've crossed over. To .NET. I will continue to be a complete open-source junkie of course, but during the work hours, I will no longer be working with PHP and Python. I will now be working with .NET and SharePoint.

I was presented with a rather good reason for this actually:

"Using SharePoint gives our clients a tremendous amount of security – they can trust that if, for whatever reason, something were to happen to us, their software could still be serviced by someone else." That's certainly justifiable and understandable. That's a pretty good idea actually. I like it.

After looking into ASP.NET, I was actually quite surprised. The code is a lot cleaner than PHP. It looks rather powerful actually.

Anyway, that's why I've crossed over. No hard feelings :)
