Daniel Hoelbling talks about programming

New job!

February 11th, 2008 . by Daniel Hölbling

Yes, I’m going back to work.

I accepted to work on a new ASP.NET web project as CTO and developer for my previous employer pixelpoint.

So expect to hear new stuff about ASP.NET and AJAX.NET here on my blog during the next weeks.

The project is called Pizza.at and will be a online food delivery service.
I had been working on a previous version that didn’t make it to a release while I was working for pixelpoint. Due to time constraints and poor planning the project failed and I was approached some weeks ago to try to get it done during these holidays.

I accepted the deal, mainly because I was offered complete freedom on development (so I can abandon the old codebase).
So, this time around I’m the one to blame if the project goes wrong, because I’m the guy doing all the planning.
I have chosen an agile development process and am currently working on the requirement analysis and some basic design stuff.
Because I want this project to be done fast I decided not to use any fancy new stuff like MVC or Silverlight. The whole project will be done on a SQL 2000 database with normal ASP.NET. Regardless, I’ll be using C# 3.5 and some LinQ queries will surely make it into the application.

The whole thing will start later this week after I did another training course at pixelpoint for their employees.

    w00t, so I guess Pizza.at will finally make its return :D Always having to call the Koschat Pizzeria the “traditional” way really sucks ;-)

    Hope that he’ll convert to Java is vanishing. It might well be that we lost him to the dark side. Sounds like the double light abre of MS SQL Server and Active Server Pages is too powerful on a first glance.

    But be warned! Only the purest (e.g. J2ME of course) will survive!

    :-D

    Grats, mathias

    @Bernd: I’ll be there on Wednesday for the training and on thursday I’ll start working.

    @Horst: We are currently aiming for a release in October (if anything works out perfectly maybe in 8 weeks), hope you can bear with the “traditional” way for a few more months ;)

    For Mathias, the hopes I’d switch back to Java have never been very high. Luckily Java syntax strongly resembles to C# so that I could fake some Java knowledge to pass your class :) .
    But I don’t think I can really judge what works better, I’ve been so involved with the .NET side of things that I simply don’t know what equivalents exist in the Java world. And due to Java being so spread out (many different projects in different places) I am pretty shure I’d be busy for some time finding my way through things.

    So for now, I’ll just stick to C# 3.5 and hopefully the training course on Wednesday works. Yesterday I tried to do some of the VB code samples and had to find out I didn’t remember how to declare a variable.
