Check out Scott Hanselman's podcast where he interviews Matt Davis, an Architect at EarthClassMail.com about their switch from a LAMP stack (Linux, apache, mysql, php/perl/python) to .NET 3.x. <Podcast here>. A very cool interview. A couple of the highlights from a purely .NET in .COM Story perspective:
- Massive use of LINQ in a real application... the number of coded SQL statements can be counted on one hand
- Communication between tiers done using WCF
- Self hosting of AJAX services
- Operations interfaces built using WinForms and WPF
There is also some good architecture discussion stuff as well. ;-)
