N Softare IP*Works - I'm in Love!

I just got a Red Carpet Subscription to IP*Works.  This has to be the coolest stuff I've played with in like Forever!   I wanted to write some zip compression in a .NET app and well, had to head over to J# to do it.  I'm not dogging J#, but how it escapes ridicule while VB.NET still gets ridiculed unfairly is beyond me.  Enough of that...  Anyway, I load up IP *Works and I was up and running in about three minutes. And it's one of the five Third Party utilities I could actually deploy without any headaches (DevExpress, F-Point Spread, and Deklarit were a dream to deploy - Infragistics and Dart were a pain in the A55 but were worth it).

Then, I got to Secure SSL.  COOOOOOLLLLLL.  Digital Certificate Management that even blockheads like Bill can use.  I'm still giddy over this.  So far, on a scale of 1-10, the Zip stuff was a 1 to use (with 1 being easy).  Secure SSL is a much more complex concept and tool, but it was still pretty easy...I'd give it a 4, but it's probably a 2 and my denseness accounts for the other 2.

I'm going to play with this a little more and try to tackle EDI.  COOL COOL COOL.

Whoever at IP*Works that hooked this up, I love you!  check it out at www.nsoftware.com
