I was offered another job developing web applications using ASP.NET but the language requirement was for C Sharp instead of Visual Basic. I don’t think this was a good job offer because it came from an employment agency. I have not had good experiences with employment agencies. They don’t seem to understand the skills that they are trying to market. I think I’d do better to market my web development skills myself.
However this is the fourth job opportunity requiring C# experience. I consider myself an expert on ASP.NET but I do all my programming in Visual Basic. StoreFront 6.0 was written in VB.NET and all my ASP work was in VBScript so it makes sense to transition to Visual Basic.NET. Today I converted some of my early sample code to C#. It was remarkably easy because only the language syntax changes. Most of the code can remain the same. I should be able to pick up C Sharp in a few weekends!
