I'm an Italian developer, been working in Finmeccanica companies for more than 26 years. In the past, I used to work with Visual Studio 6, then I moved to .NET. I'm working with .NET (C#, VB, ASPX and so on) till now, but in the last 5 years I've worked a lot with Java, using Eclipse (a very good tool in my opinion, imho better than NetBeans). Have a deep experience with Oracle, too. During the last six months I've been working a lot with Corba: Orbacus, then Jacorb.
