The journey here.

Well the purpose of this was to post my advances on my projects and get some correctional feedback. Though, I think I'll probably post just about everything that seems worth posting, from my ridiculous rants about stupid people to my opinion on the latest movies.

Mostly, this blog will document my workings with Microsoft technologies as I learn them from the ground up. I currently have a good understanding of java, coldfusion, and AS3 with flash. But I'm only moderately skilled at Java, and coldfusion is simply too expensive for the independent developer. Flash is nice, but I find myself wanting to work with something new that I can possibly get a job with later without having a 9 page resume of skills. I loved the object oriented nature of the languages I already knew, and the incredible speed of building a coldfusion app, so I decided to look for a platform that could offer me some of both. First, I thought Ruby.. after looking at the syntax and feeling like vomiting, I decided against it. Next, I went to cobol. And after finding that there are pretty much no learning resources for that ancient language, I moved on.
I remembered that I once wanted to build games with c++, so I decided to see if there was a web implementation of that yet, which led me to C# and ASP.net. I really enjoy the technology and now that they've added C# to the languages that you can write Silverlight in, I'm hooked.
