ASP.NET, servlets and JSP
A dirty little secret: altough I'm firmly in the .NET development camp, I still do J2EE development and training for a handful of our customers and for good reasons too:
- I really believe in using the best tool for the job and, in some scenarios, servlets, JSP, Hibernate, etc. are just what the doctor ordered (or forced you to swallow ;-) )
- I believe even more in having a wide perspective, and knowing and practicing some J2EE gives you a better appreciation for .NET advantages (and its low points also, for sure)
So, why I'm talking about this? Because the good guys at MSDN Webcasts are doing a long and deep series on ASP.NET 2.0 development starting this week. Me personally, I'll be doing a couple of webcasts in march on ASP.NET 2.0 from the servlets/JSP perspective, even though I haven't got the details yet I can promise that:
- You'll be supposed to know servlets/JSP
- I'll do my best to do it developer-to-developer with as few marketing as possible
And talking about marketing, the good guys at MSDN Webcasts will give me some cute little prices if you go there thru here, so give me a hand, will ya?
