My first week here at “The Ranch” (as I will refer to it from now on) has been a good one. I’m excited to be working with ASP.Net again, but I won’t soon be forgetting my deep roots in PHP.

I’ve been working all week on a re-skin of the back-end on one of our products called “Site Manager”. As you couldn’t probably guess by the name, Site Manager is a CMS system. I’ve enjoyed working on the re-skinning project because it’s given me a chance to learn the in’s and out’s of Site Manager.

Just to get you, my readers, a little more familiar with where I work I’ll give you a quick list of the tools I use here:

• Visual Studio 2010, Ultimate Edition
• Visual Source Safe / Team Foundation Server (a mix of both)
• Microsoft Office (of course)
• Notepad++ (yep, still using it for quick edits, javascript, and other little things)
• Chrome / IE (browsers)

And here’s my desk:

Well, that’s about it for today. Be looking forward to more programming-related (don’t worry, I’m still going to do PHP) articles!
