Change is inivitable

But why are we afraid of it. For one, it feels awkward. Second, we dont wanna go out of our comfort zones. This is true, we always hesitate to explore unknown territories. The sad thing is sooner or later we have to deal with change and if we don’t it will overrun us and will caugth us offguard.

It took some convincing for me to change coding from php to asp.net. I was getting comfortable with coding php and so I was afraid of moving to asp. But the moment I first get my hands on Visual Studio, I felt compelled by what it can offer. Productivity for one, I have to admit that in php I have to create tons of codes for a simple functionality. And I was so surprised to learn that in asp, someboady already created that function to me. So there I was switching technologies and programming languages and I thought everything will end there, but I was wrong again. The coding language I first used in asp.net is visual basic, which I am also a starter, and the syntax from coding php to VB is very different but fortunately I managed to sneak myway into VB and found myself even coding user controls which are advenced topics. I was able to exploit memberships, roles, profiles with no trouble until I bumped into a problem that starter like me can’t ressolve easily. The solution is presented but not in VB, its in C#, another coding language, still with much persistance, I was able to create the solution I wanted in VB. It seems that change is again lurking in the shadows and it seems like I have no option before it overruns me. So this afternoon I took that step forward in coding c# for the first time and I was able to successfully made it to the first base.

Change can be fearsome. But you will have to deal with it sooner or later. But then again why wait sooner when you can deal with it right now.
