In my job I have been learning and programming in C# for the past 4 weeks. It’s been sort of … interesting let’s say. My main task was to enhance/improve/fix an in-house application used mainly for logging support jobs (I work for a company that does IT support) however it has the capabilities of managing clients, their contracts, etc. Nothing to set the world on fire.
This application is written entirely in C# and using WindowsForms. During the past 4 weeks I’ve had the pleasure to work in Visual Studio and to try catching bugs in .NET’s own threaded environment (with the addition of a database query manager which adds yet a few other threads). It proved to be challenging as I was doing real work while learning the quirks and gotchas of not only the language itself (see what I said about C# scopes and why Python’s forcing of indentation is good) but the whole .NET framework.
But no more.
I got the good news yesterday: I will work on my very own project from the ground up. There’s a catch though: I’ll have to re-use the database and all the information contained in it. Moreover, the DB engine is an SQL Server so it should be fun poking with it.
In a nutshell: I’ll be doing Django stuff though not traditional (in the sense of writing stuff from scratch and using either of the major DB engines preferred by the Django community).
Bu-bye C#, hello Python!
Fun times ahead.
