Yesterday I posted that O’Reilly says Java book sales are 10% down.  At the same time, Microsoft just finished its Lang.Net 2006 conference about all the languages .Net supports.  Then I ran across this site that contains Extreme Programming Motivational Posters.  Very hilarious!  Furthermore, I found a post on digg from OSCON about Java Programmers are the Erotic Furries of Programming.  Then to top it all off, I read on Miguel’s blog a summary of Lang.Net 2006.  He mentions that Second Life embedded Mono as a scripting engine in their product!  Brilliant!  And much quicker than the SQL server team did it.  .Net was also used for MySpace!  YouTube probably doesn’t use .Net, but 2 of the top 3 sites use it!
