Sounds like wotsisname is doing very well dragging and dropping his parts.

Of course there's more to software development than disgusting social habits

5 years of C and you should be able to write C in any language.

Nail, head.

Where did "You do all codes" originated from ?

Bob and his mates!

Developing software in "C" I then progressed to "C++" having developed software in "C++" under Visual Studio this gave me access to MSDN. MSDN taught me all I want to know about lambda expressions, expression trees & closures.

Simples.

You sir, are pwned!

What do you know of lambda expressions, expression trees & closures?

Not alot I would have thought.

I'm fairly confident that I, or any other expereinced developer, could pick up another mainstream language we're not familiar with, and given a couple of weeks, get to a level of proficiency where we would be comfortable enough to discuss it with an SME for that language.

Agreed. I'm Java/J2EE. Give me a week to become productive in .NET, another two to three and I might write some reasonable code. Three months in I'd expect to be able to pimp out those skills. One year before I actually understand the cleaner ways to work around the imperfections in the language.

But only because I understand a bunch of the nastier aspects of Java. If I wasn't looking for the tricks, hacks and kludges, becoming competent would take much longer.

Takes about 5 years experience before you can master .NET, its huge.

The trick to mastering .NET and development in general is to understand it from first principals. Then it becomes easy. Its mastering how to understand those first principals that require years of practise and experience.

That's what coding is now. Plugging .Net widgets (sorry Weltchy ) together. Fill yer boots. Loooooooooaaaaaaadsa moooooooneeeeeey.
