There have been a couple of posts here on GWB about VB.NET vs C# stats. (It looks like the report includes VB and VB.NET together.) http://geekswithblogs.net/c... http://geekswithblogs.net/T... I write in both languages and I don't really have a preference for one or the other. The fact is the languages are equals. You can get anything done in both languages with the same amount of work. There are some differences but it mostly...
Well, I can finally start releasing the name of our product / company / web site since 1 - we are officially expanding the team and hiring more people and 2 - the placeholder page is up at juggle.com. But I can't tell you what we are building yet. Hey, here is a good way to find out. Join the company! Hiring in St. Louis We are a small web development group looking to expand our team. Plain and simple, we are looking for great developers. We are focused on finding people who have a passion for development...
Okay, so "everyone" hates Visual SourceSafe. But the simple truth is many .NET developers have access to it for free because it comes with their MSDN Subscription. So a lot of .NET developers use it and they are familiar with it. Not because it's the best, but just because it's there. When we launched the new company we too went with Visual SourceSafe because it was included in our subscriptions, we were familiar with it, and it was better than nothing. But since then it has failed us in the biggest...
When we first started the new project there was no question that it would be ASP.NET. It's what I knew and I trusted it to get us there.

But during the first weeks of development we needed to run MySQL to power some software we thought for sure we were going to need to run. That threw a wrench in the plans. Did we really want to run two database...
It figures that the week after I decide to start blogging more about work that we would have the most chaotic week ever. Development is an ongoing battle with chaos, and this week, chaos brought a much bigger weapon to the fight. We do weekly iterations and most weeks we not only meet, but exceed our goals, followed by a push into the test environment. I debated about how much detail to go into and decided the specifics probably wouldn't interest anyone outside the company. So here is the high level....
Last summer I joined a startup company. I left my employer because the commute had become too much, escalating to an average of 3 hours per day. I live in St. Louis and a few months ago they closed down a major interstate for 2 years while it's under construction. That interstate was how I got to work. I can only imagine how bad it would be today. A startup has it's own unique challenges. This isn't my first, but it is the first time I joined a company on what can be considered the first day of operation....
