New Position on Westlaw

13 Jul 2007

This week I started a new position at Thomson West, moving from my previous job at Thomson RIA. I'm still in the same building, but now I'm a Lead Software Engineer on the UI team for the Westlaw application. I'll be helping to create infrastructure components for the Westlaw user interface. Right now there's a big push to improve the look and feel by incorporating newer technology like AJAX and Lightbox modal dialogs, so this should be right up my alley.

This position should be a new challenge, since the technology is C# and ASP.NET. I've been using Java/servlets/JSPs exclusively for the last 8 years, so this move will require some learning before I can get up and running. It's something I'm looking forward to though, as I believe it's good to shake things up every once in a while.
