WTE were they smoking when they compiled that list?

Charleston, SC??? I live not far from there and a couple of weeks had to make a trip there and I couldn't wait to get out of there. I though it was a real shithole but maybe I was in the non-tourist section.

Why Luton is missing?

Okay I've been to Luton and I've been that drunk. Hell, I've been that drunk in Luton, but it still won't make the list...

I'm not sure why you're so excited about Florence winning big.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I have been to Flo, but it is nothing compared to Buda.

Luxemberg.
THat list is bollocks. Its more a 'best city to go holidaying in' rather than work in.

I can't see you on that photo...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).

A grizzled old man was eating in a truck stop when three very large, leathered bikers walked in.
The first walked up to the old man, pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie and then took a seat at the counter. The second walked up to the old man, spat into the old man's milk and then he too took a seat at the counter. The third walked up to the old man, turned over the old man's plate, and took a seat at the counter. Without a word of protest, the old man quietly left the diner.
Shortly thereafter, one of the bikers said to the waitress, "Not much of a man, was he?" The waitress replied, "Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed up his big-rig over three motorcycles."

An old one, but still amusing.
Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Classic joke. Reminds me a bit of my father-in-law, who drove a truck for a living. The only difference is that Bill would have beat the crap out of the bikers, dragged them outside, and then run over their bikes while they watched.

I'm looking into any courses that will help improve my skills as a developer, and ideally show that I am continously working on my education and learning. I was looking at the Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer [^], however it seems to have changed quite a bit from the previous Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD). Any recommendations?
I currently code using the microsoft stack, C# ASP.Net 4, Web Forms and looking to start there.

This course[^] was very interesting, but might not be your area of interest. Best course I ever followed, even if I include everything I did in university. You'd have to wait till next year if you want a certificate.
A course on C# or WinForms sounds lame to me. I like them, but not for a course, which would most likely be the most boring course ever.

I'd love to do the new Microsoft solutions developer, which is based around ASP.Net MVC, but I'm learning MVC in my spare time, once I free up some spare time.
SQL Performance / Optimization I'd be intrigued in.

Why is that? Not everybody has your massive amounts of C# and WinForms knowledge.
|
|
|
|
|
It's not that. It's just that I've done courses that looked vaguely like that, and they invariably sucked. Also, I can't imagine any way how they could not.

What programming language will be used in this class?
A minimal knowledge of python is necessary to integrate with the course infrastructure. Outside of that, students are free to use any language of their choice.
PYTHON??????

Yes. A little. The program used to automatically submit things is in Python, and it loads a Python file with your code in it (initially comes with a simple solver that gives you 3/10 points). The code in it can be a couple of lines that run an other program and communicate with it, that's how I did most of it. You can get away with knowing no Python at all and just looking up how to do that.

That is indeed VERY interesting! Thanks for the tip.

I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer, and I passed the MCSD Web development, where I learned cool stuff about html5 (mostly incompatible stuff with IE 10 ) and azure.
What I can say is that : the technology is interesting.
Taking a course with a trainer might be boring or cool, depending on your trainer. If the trainer follows Microsoft guidelines for training, it will be boring. (yep Microsoft training material is not really good pedagogically speaking)
Nevertheless, I enjoyed Learning MCSD Web dev, I did not regret it. (I'm a trainer, but always learn certifications by myself)
