Start of Week 3!!

Time passes, and it is the 3rd week (3/4 month) I am working at IHPC, and I can feel I am slowly adapting to the working world environment.

Today we started on our project of XML parsing (reading and writing). One of my learning points today was compatibility across platforms. C#, Java and Visual Basic, unfortunately, are under the .NET framework and therefore are not cross-platfrom compatible, unless you were to install a special application on Linux and Mac (called Mono). The language that I learn and know to be cross platform is Flash and Actionscript.

Indeed, in the business world, although many things are made cross-platform through an application (eg. Mono), but more of the focus is on allowing the application to be cross platfrom without requiring the user to install additional software
