Well, after 20 years of developing Windows applications, both WPF and WinForms, Windows Services, WCF Services and all that good stuff, I'm finally being pushed to actively work more in web development.

I've been thinking (putting off) about this for a few years, but it has moved so far that I can't ignore it any longer.

Luckily, although I'm a contractor, my work is pushing me to get up to speed and I'm fortunate enough to work with some seasoned web developers.

So I'm getting to experience the wonders of JQuery, Javascript, Razor, Bootstrap, ASP.NET MVC and all the little quirks that go with them.

Oh, Node, Meteor, TypeScript are also in my firing line.

And there's some really cool IDE's like brackets and LightTable.

Lots of learning and headaches ahead, but it's nice to be developing with technology that is new to me.
