I've had to ask him questions about Silverlight because he knows far more about it. He learned it on his own, without much help from anyone. Trust me, if you met John, you'd swear he was older than Ben Franklin. So age doesn't mean jack ____.


LMFAO, Thanks.. I think.. but you're absolutely right. I saw the light with fox a number of years ago and decided to concentrate on c# and .net. I dind't know it would morph into the huge behemoth it is now. However, we're at the same crossroads fox was a couple of years ago. WinForms is going to go bye-bye and those that have the foresight right now to move or already have moved into Silverlight/WPF will reap the benefits of that move. Age is inconsequential in the scheme of things. Its what you can do and that you can show them what you can do..
