    Becoming Multilingual

    So, anyone that can recognize my name probably knows that I'm not at all proficient (yet) in the realm of programming languages. That said...

    I got a job as a programmer!! Heh, long story.
    But the bad news is that it's with a guy that does .NET stuff, and (specifically) uses C# a lot. I have plenty of resources on these evils so learning them shouldn't be a problem, but I by no means want to continue working with .NET and other Microsoft (or other OS)-dependent languages forever. Or even for a little while. So...

    For the multilingual programmers out there, have you any tips on keeping the different environments and languages separate in your head?

    (And just out of curiosity, has anyone sneezed at the possibility of C# on Linux?)

    Congrats. It's the start of the slippery slope to cynicism and pizza. Hmm Cynicism and Pizza, not a bad name for a techie blog

    Nothing wrong with that C# is actually not a bad language. Having said that I'm not a fan of ASP.NET but do like what they call Winforms.NET

    Can't help you here; I mostly just keep them seperate

    Tried it using Mono and quite like it. Although it does feel kind of strange working in what was originally a MS language.

    My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.
