Lately I have become very interested in C# and .NET. I started teaching a course in .NET at SCPS, NYU in 2004 - back then .NET was seen as more hype than reality. Like many other Microsoft products, initial versions of .NET lacked substance. But the newer versions of Visual Studio and .NET and C# are quite impressive.
Another thing I have been thinking about lately is messaging. JMS is almost a defacto standard when it comes to Message Oriented Middleware products (MOMS). Since there are so many JMS apps out there, I thought it would be a great idea to have a C# API that's exactly the same as the JMS standard so people who write JMS with Java can easily write the same apps in C#. I came across this very interesting article about using JMS in C# using an opensource tool called "Grasshopper". Very impressive.
