My advice would be to start writing python now, just start. If your client complains and tells you they wanted a .net app, tell em to **** off.Originally posted by Bhav View PostHi All, What is the best way to switch fields in contracting? I want to switch from .Net to Python. Thank you
You don't tell a plumber what kind of wrench they use.
If the client still doesn't see reason then use your right to substitute, find a decent python programmer and let him deal with your unreasonable client.Comment
