I've been away from .Net for a while. How has it improved? How is the market for programmers in it? For freelancers?

  ASP.net MVC is pretty awesome, there are some good open source projects like Nancy for more lightweight stuff, Entity Framework isn't great but it's pretty mature and fast for an ORM. Visual Studio continues to be the best IDE on the market.

    "Entity Framework" ... why dont you use Linq instead?
    • qu4z-2 13y ago
      You mean Linq-to-Sql? Entity Framework lets you use Linq and manages your db for you. As long as you use the Code-First approach it's... okay. But it does at least support compiling Linq to Sql mostly alright. (I'm looking at you NHibernate)

    I did some work with ASP.net MVC. Last time I touched it it was a pretty nice framework to use. Thanks for the feedback
