First day

So, it was my first day at my new job. It was going to be a slightly different company, Relogic, but they've actually transferred me to a different one. Due to company confidentiality, I can't discuss exactly what we're doing, but the job itself is interesting. It'll be a lot of stress at first, ramping up and learning all I need to know (and getting the job done, of course). Oh, and my new job is 2 blocks from the Union Station light rail stop. So I'll probably start taking that in instead of driving (as there's not many spaces for parking at the office). And I get C# experience. That brings up my first issue: C# has delegates. Now, I think that that's ok, itself. It's how websites and books describe them. Here's the way to describe them: function pointers. If I had read that sentence, I would have saved 30 minutes of my life trying to figure out how the books were using delegates and why you'd use them. ARGH. Finally I figured it out, and had the ah hah! moment. My only other issue is how VS.net formats C#, it does this: private Object ReturnSomethingCool { // put your code here } and I would rather see: private Object ReturnSomethingCool { // put your code here } Oh well.
