I was just researching for something like this a week ago. It's odd how you consistently find what you are looking for when you quit looking. In any case, you weren't obligated to post this but did it generously anyway so thanks! I will have my daughter read this and possibly comment when I get home. Have a nice day! What a coincidence!

We're glad we can help and can give something back. BEAM has certainly already benefited and I personally very much enjoy the meetings, so it's a win all round! Thank you Claudio.

Kudos to Beam for providing such timely support for a group so focused on achievement and continuous improvement. Action speaks louder than words, and I'm sure they'll have no problem to acquire the top talent they need. All the best. Wow, this is great news indeed.

So to me the question would be "Java or .NET?" When I started programming (late 80-ties/early 90-ties), people really had to care about code efficiency. The evolution has been since then mostly towards code safety, static types, object oriented design (and intellisense). This direction started many years ago and was driven by the people trying to make things easier, faster and more efficient. That is what you learn in the university (at least I did) - static typing saves a lot of time and bugs, that's why it was accepted by all the professionals. It's all abut getting things done and focusing on the real goals (which is no to write tests or whatever, it's to deliver the product and to keep it reasonably maintainable). You can imagine how the current attempts with dynamic languages together with TDD look seen with this optics - it's like repeating the history (not exactly but you get my point) and making things more complicated.

I found some of the arguments a little one sided but it may be worth a listen in light of tomorrows conversation. The podcast is developers who have left the .Net web space for ruby on rails. http://herdingcode.com/?p=256 I found this podcast recently.
