Most important parts of .Net

[zathras]

Remember, plenty of room on the <TOOT><TOOT> .Net gravy train.

No there is n't! No work whatsoever - go and do something far more interesting - like machine code, counting the hairs on a donkey or java.

The less of you in .Net the more money for......

Me!!!!!!

I'll happily do machine code, or donkey hair counting, if the rate is right. But one way or another I've never got into Java.

I've heard it said Java is gaining market share at the expense of .Net, now the code is more optimized and processors are getting faster.

(But I've also heard the Java Enterprise database model has some shortcomings. Not sure what these are, but I'd guess they relate to networked and cross-database transaction handling.)

Oh yes.

Of all the modern frameworky technologies, .NET is probably the easiest to pick up and blag, just watch out for Tay at al trying to catch you out on specialised knowledge. If you're willing to take a drop in rates while you 'pick it up' properly it can be done.

When did I say anything about specialised knowledge?? Unlike others you never PM asking for the questions I ask in interviews, so not sure why you are making that assumption. I hate people who try to trip you up in interviews just to prove how clever they are.

Cant be arsed to read it all, but has anybody given the patent contractor answer?

The most important part of any dev language or tool set is the bottom line!!!!

In my experience of .net, you need to be able to display thumbnails of nice little wasps and things.

Having now seen the question, I take it back about Tay. There are swine interviewers out there, though. I have experienced interviews where the interviewer knows a lot more than me about .Net than I do and seems intent on proving (to themselves) why I'm not worth the money he's being forced to pay for me.

I'm always tempted to stop them in mid flow and ask "have you ever kissed a girl?"

Most of my interviews are about what's on my CV (which does have quite a lot of technical details), not some technical test on some obscure stuff I've never worked with. In fact, if I were to get a tricky question I'd probably ask the person asking me to describe exactly where they'd used that before and why it was useful.

Tay, come on, half of us are blaggers up to a point. What's this mysterious question you ask in interviews?

Imagine a disk spinning like a record player turn table. Half of the disk is black and the other is white. Assume you have an unlimited number of color sensors. How many sensors would you have to place around the disk to determine the direction the disk is spinning? Where would they be placed?
