A New Beginning

New beginnings are hard. Starting something new - a new job, start-up, or even a blog - is not a simple task. It takes effort. It's against our nature, really. Newton, with his first law of motion explains it well (I'm paraphrasing):





"An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction..."


We are conditioned to do what we know, what we're good at. Stay the course. Most of us are afraid of change, of the unknown. It's natural.

But Newton realized that things are not that simple, so he added:

"unless acted upon by an external, unbalanced force."

Several weeks ago I started a new job as a developer at SAP Labs in Israel (a definite "unbalanced force"). This new job involves quite a bit of research around the latest Microsoft technologies (WCF, WPF, MOSS, OBA, VSTO, etc.). So I figured, I might as well share my experiences with other developers in the community, and what better way than an online blog.




With everything I have to learn these days (a new company, a new product, new technologies) I know I'll be drinking from the fire hose for a while, but I honestly believe that writing will actually help me make sense and keep track of it all.

So, hang on, and enjoy the ride.
