The cool parts of this job are:
- MVC from 1.1 to 3.0 in this version
- Getting to move up to VS 2010. (before anyone comments I know I want VS 2012 and MVC4)
- Learning the ends and outs of a complex web site/service by analyzing extending code. (So much better than the 'Hello World' using .net).
- Being able to leverage by SQL and C# knowledge so I'm not completely dead weight until I become proficient in javascript.
Things I learned so far:
- Javascript, are you kidding? This is why smart device development is such a good idea. Gets away from a rather poor scripting language.
- I hate using FireFox but I love it for debugging. It is too bad the rapid release process has destroyed one of my favorite browsers.
- Browsers I'm currently concerned with supporting: IE9/IE10, Chrome, and Safari.
- Two things I love about Javascript: debugger and alert(). The rest can go away.
- The joy of getting a html button wired to a javascript function to hit Controller.Action()
- Much deeper understanding and appreciation for large sites as Google and Facebook.
- http://stackoverflow.com/ is still my best friend!
