What I remember about .asp development (answering philg)

Philip, I don’t know about what you remember about .asp programming, but I will tell you what I recall some years back:

  • IIS memory leaks when coding ASP pages because it was a threaded server.
  • Huge MS SQL server code in the database because developers came from C/S backgrounds.
  • Low level dll development interfacing with .asp pages through COM because .asp was not fast enough.
  • Registering manually the COM/VB code each time we had to deploy a new release.
  • Sacking MS consutants trying to sell you DNA.

I have no idea about Ruby on Rails, but you can botch a MS stack pretty easily.

Also, why do you want to make the Ruby on Rails comunity angry? I have no doubt they’re rabid fanboys, but I know who you are, so don’t be child and stop nagging the children.

What to read after SICP?

Impressive thread in Hacker News about what to read after SICP. The bibliografy about ‘not so introductory’ texts is a great resource.
