Periods. Overused. In marketing. So much. Appears normal.

Ha! I've always felt that way about exclamation marks in a lot of marketing copy. I can't help but think that the person that wrote it was coked up!! For some reason it annoys me :)

I feel like i have to read period-ridden marketing in a really dramatic way. In my head.

And if i'm not doing that, then i just have ideas. Separated.

This is not the first time I've noticed this omittance on HN posts. Even though ASP.NET is one of the biggest web development frameworks on the planet, used by many, many companies, a lot of these so called web developers pretend like it doesn't even exist. Have they even used C# I wonder? The Microsoft grudge runs deep in Silicon Valley.

I've noticed this as well. It's unfortunate, I think, that I still run into a lot of people who carry unfounded negative opinions on c# web development simply because of their personal bias against Microsoft. But c'est la vie, this is a common problem in the realm of programming, champion disregard .

I can assure you all my prejudice towards c# web development comes from experience.

Since a portion of beginners are interested in employment, I wonder how much of this sheet needs to be 'filled in' to become employable at a minimum, junior position? I've found that the threshold between beginner -> employable is really fuzzy and that's a bit frustrating.

Can you build stuff that is useful and useable? That's the line. Not how many boxes you can check off.

Came here to ask the same question. We built www.staffsquared.com with .Net, I think it's on par with anything I've seen created with "trendy" languages.

It looks good, HTML source is pretty clean as well.

Did you look inside #habla_beta_container_do_not_rely_on_div_classes_or_names ?

Seems like that's markup generated by a third party tool their site uses for chat.

Excellent. I can assure you that I wasn't including you in the set of people whose prejudice doesn't come from experience.

Also disappointed about the lack of ASP . MVC.net - but so it goes, I would hope it wasn't being intentionally ignored out of some personal bias. Either way, the site is still a pretty nice resource even if it fails to recognize some stacks.

Great post, thanks for the effort. But I definitely second BigChief on this, please include ASP.Net MVC and for completeness ASP.Net Web Forms.

Thanks
