Yeah, I'm a full time.net developer, mainly asp.net but some desktop stuff as well.
I don't know what to tell you, you've got the education already. Learning the language is the almost trivial compared to learning how to build systems that don't stink. Thats where the money is too.
But there are books for that too I guess.
Just picked it up and ran with it. The language itself is not so different that it requires actual learning, unless you are a novice programmer. In that case I would suggest that you read and do read and do read and do until the concepts are familiar, or get enroled in a entry level college course.
The only thing in c# 3.0 that was a bit different was linq, which I love when its used as linq-to-objects and linq-to-xml but abhore when it's linq-to-sql! WRONG WRONG WRONG!
Sql belongs in the database, packaged up behind an sp, not scattered through your code. *Shudder*
What level of experience do you have, that really determines how I would sugest you go forward. Saying that, there is a lot to say for just getting your hands dirty on some toy projects.
and a very nice language it is too! (coming from someone who pays the bills using it)
I've still got a soft spot for c++ but I haven't had to use it in an age, and probably wouldn't unless I needed absolute technical control over a project, for perf reasons.
Thanks for that...I've only done a little investigation about it so far. There are no actual jewellers around me that carry it.
I've found http://www.titanium-jewelry.com/ which has good reviews and they do good quality (no cobalt) tungsten carbide rings. Lifetime warrenty also, although I'm not sure what that means where a website is concerned.
The pictures look mirror polished and several reviews I have read have said that the finished piece looks the same as the site picture.
Hi, can I ask where you got your ring from? I;m getting married in a year and we've been looking at rings. I thought a tungsten ring would be pretty original. Weighty and really tough, sounds ideal to me.
You should try getting one fromt he jewelers round by me though, Stoke, UK.
Is it polished to a mirror shine? That was the last thing on the wish-list. I thought polishing tungsten would be a job in itself.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Shush! I know its the wrong reference but I didn't want to go with the obvious
"How are serial killers supposed to quickly and efficiently dismember their squirming prey now?"
Because by the time that the actual product has been developed, people have anticipated the next thing they want, and they are then waiting for that...The original five year wait is forgotten.
In five years gartner will be saying that Linux or OSS is five years from the next thing they imagine they want.

I doubt it'll even get to market. If I buy a teletubbies DVD for my kids I'll be damned if I have to demean myself to actually playing it for them! I'd rather not be in the house at all when that sh*t is happening.

Brilliant. ;-)

How are evil geniuses supposed to slowly, ever so slowly, kill suave British spys now?
You are correct.... I was incorrectly converting into meters when c was already in meters.
Hertz arn't in multiples of 1024. And your divide is the wrong way round. (c / (350,000,000,000)) * 1000 = 0.85654988 m / s 85cm ish. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=(c +%2F+(350%2C000%2C000%2C000))+*+1000&meta=

Oh dear.... Another person falls foul of the "It wasn't built here" mentality.
Haha. Mod this guy up...
Space Camp?
Max is my friend!
Windows?
this Rick Boucher guys is ok!
Why shouldn't they trademark their works? Why did Linus fail to trademark Linux?
Users?
Remember to strip out an connection strings/password etc from you exception info if you're think of using this...
Why you would, I don't know. But still.

Nice one man. Looks like a really good app there.
does it Hop Linux???
How many typos are there in this?!
Proof reading? No? Okey-dokey!

OH GOD YES!
