Back to Microsoft

I feel dirty writing this post but it is the truth. I’ve been thinking a lot about developing a particular piece of software that would solve a curtain categories of complex problems in various industries. I’m being vague on purpose. As part of my brainstorming, I needed to determine what platform(s) this tool would support and what technologies need to be used. To avoid boring anyone that actually may be reading this blog, I’ll spare you the details. Although I insanely love the Mac platform for my home use, I’m afraid that due to 1) the scarcity of developers with Objective-C knowledge, 2) the high price of membership fees to Apple’s Developer Center and 3) the outstanding ease-of-use of Microsoft’s recent development tools I have chosen to target development to Microsoft platform.

Specifically, Windows Foundation Presentation (WPF), C# 3.5 and the Concurrenty Extension Libraries will be heavily used.

…and thus continues my Love/Hate relationship with M$.
