My experiences of the last week or so are making it really really obvious that I can't afford to miss a major worldview shift, like the one from procedural to OO.

That's what happened to me whilst I was mucking about with tech support --- the world changed, C and Assembler went out of style, and everything went to the web and OOP.

And the world is changing on us yet again, Jen ... I think this Rapid Application Development thing is going places. Ruby on Rails is all the rage here in Austin.

I've been considering taking a Java course at the community college.

The nice thing about Java is that it makes C# a cinch, and vie versa. So learn one and you more or less get the other free.

Do you use Eclipse? It took me a while but it's my Java IDE of choice now.
