So last Friday I defended my thesis on the “Development of Computational Tools to determine the effects of minimum free energy on mRNA translation” to complete my masters degree in Computational Science. I must say, it feels very weird to be done with school. I am officially no longer a student!<\/p>\n
Now that I am done, I have begun collaborating with a friend of a friend. This person is having me learn ASP.NET to develop a Web site running on IIS<\/acronym>. I haven’t gone through many of the tutorials yet, but from what I’ve seen so far it doesn’t look as advanced as many people make it out to be. I have yet to see how it really solves the “spaghetti code” aspect of Web Development like so many people claim. Only programming a page within a FORM tag seems a bit too restrictive. I’m sure my feelings will change once I do more, but right now it seems like the biggest novel that ASP.NET developers get worked up for is really having an IDE<\/acronym> to program in. They’re amazed at having Visual Studio, not ASP.NET (I guess they’ve never heard of the Zend Studio<\/a> for PHP<\/acronym>). Oh well. There seem to be more jobs here in Rochester for .NET developers, so resume building is go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So last Friday I defended my thesis on the “Development of Computational Tools to determine the effects of minimum free energy on mRNA translation” to complete my masters degree in Computational Science.
