I have moved on to developing Clojure and later Go. I still want to go back to .NET with C# once the opportunity is there. Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of fun working with other languages and I have learned a great deal. If nothing

I have come across very few companies that offer both, well paid roles and interesting products with .NET for the past few years. .NET is my preferred environment but I had to move away from it. While you are correct, it's not difficul

He is giving money to charity, but through what means did he acquire this money? The fact that the charities have to exist in the first place is a huge failure of global economy and thanks in large part to the oligarch class for it.
