@Aki, just out of curiosity, why did you choose C#?
This is not to answer for Aki. Am sure you have seen his answer by now.
Most think Net is dangerous because it limits you to Windows. This maybe true but it also provides options that many developers have found to be valuable. One thing Microsoft does not compromise on is its developer tools. These help them create more software to sell. They can try and sabotage anything including the Web (Browser) but not their Dev Tools.
MS Sharepoint and Dynamics CRM or NAV Servers are not too difficult to customize or extend using the .Net Framework via C# or VB.Net. PHP developers should not be too shocked if a co.ke or .org using these kinds of MS Servers does not require their services.
The ASP.Net (C# or VB.Net) developer may not have it as easy as the PHP developer in getting Web Apps done but at least they can do them.
Interested + capable .Net Developers can also do Silverlight animations -> rich visual tutorials or presentations to educate or inform staff on Corporate Intranets.
Flash is King of Web Video / Animation but Silverlight will penetrate Corporate Servers -> Bill Boards -> Digital Signage Media (Adverts).
Have heard KITCB and MoIC officials mention animation as a big oppurtunity for Kenya. Possibly internationals are interested in getting some animations done here.
Anyone into .Net out there? Usiogope. Tunakuhitaji. Only thing is that we cannot promote you if we do not know you exist. If you need help, talk to us.
