Development Notebook

Ok, I admit it -- I really like C# (and visual studio -- I'm going to mix them up here). They're really cool for several reasons:

• Your programs are so easy to read. No more mucking about with pointers and stuff, you just say want you want and the computer figures out the hard bits. As A die-hard programmer from way back (1983 -- no, not way way back, but way back enough), it's hard for me to admit it -- but I really don't like fooling around with pointers and memory anymore. Sure it's fun to write the loops that move strings from here to there a char at a time, but after you've done it once...
  
• I really like the #region stuff. Ok, who invented it -- or did it really come from Microsoft?
  
• More coming...
