Yep, if you need to get shit done in time without a need to pad your CV with fancy tech, it's really hard to go wrong with Java or C#.

You'll be done in time and on budget. You'll also be a bit bored, but you can go rock climbing or something during the time you saved by using tried and true, boring, tech. =)

I don't understand. Am I the only one around here who gets a kick out of watching my software perform like a well-oiled machine?


Heh not the only one. Writing software that never wakes me up at night is what keeps me honing my craft. I take it as a point of pride that my software only receives attention for runtime/library updates or the rare feature request.
