What I missed in 3 years!

A brief look back into my career on the wings of a morning tea!

Three years working on the web (NT, ASP, HTML, CSS, Zope) has made me really miss Oracle and Unix. Hell, the biggest system I designed for web in these 3 years has only 15 tables and Oracle is now at version 9i. How many times can one find fixing HTML templates and links interesting? :-)

Good things are also there. Found out about Zope and Python. Got more insight into usability. Got a completely different customer experience where every one knows what they want and how they want it to be done - funny thing about web is that customers not only want to specify the page design, but also database design - usually with some MS-Access background - and completely unrealistic schedules.

Personal goal for next year: Find out what is new in Oracle 9i, make some applications using Designer and Developer. Learn SQLJ and Java within database paradigm.
