Jeremy – no, Team foundation is the closest I’ll have to get. I miss subversion.

Dan – this blog runs on WordPress == mySQL. Can’t help it if its crappy, that’s what you get for open source PHP stuff.

Ooooh, I was rudely cut! Plus, I indented with spaces, which wouldn’t have worked with HTML. Well, you get the idea.

Alas, your training is almost complete, apprentice Sith Lord(TM). But, you still have not truly come to the dark side for you are not yet a Java(TM) programmer. You have a taken a significant step, yes. In time, you will really come to love Python, which requires no braces at ALL and is based on indention which makes it REALLY easy to read.

(Sorry, that response was obligatory, eh?)

Another nice thing about braces, btw, is that, if you put them underneath the first line, it will line up with the last brace (most people don’t because K&R didn’t and if the bearded ones did not do it then it is bad and I am stupid and should bow to all things root [Administrator for you M$ guys]).

See the difference:

for (i = 0 ; i

Great next thing you’ll tell me that you have come around to using StarTeam and Crystal Reports for all your C# development.

I’ll admit though I cringe now when I have to work or read VB code, the only really beef I ever had with C# is that the Visual Studio IDE sucks, but as you pointed out Resharper fixes those problems.
