The apps make up a workorder system for a refrigeration/HVAC repair company in Texas. The back end is SQL Server. The main front end is a C#/Silverlight web app where the office staff build and edit work orders, order parts, generate invoices, process timesheet records, etc. for the field technicians. The technicians use smartphones (mostly or all iPhones) to log in to a separate C#/ASP.Net web site to view and edit the workorders that are assigned to them. The phone app was written in ASP.Net because the phone browsers can't do Silverlight. The company has been a client of mine for about 9 years. I was offered the job but I have zero Silverlight and minimal C# experience, and the client was in a hurry. Of course, the development has taken far longer than expected.... If you're interested in further information, I can put you in touch with the client or I can talk to you on the phone about the situation - drop me a private email. Canada's not a problem - I'm in BC. They think I 'talk funny' but we can understand each other:) Doug On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 11:18 AM, Arthur Fuller <fuller.artful at gmail.com>wrote: > This is an excellent place to start, Doug.
