Use it or lose it.....

Its amazing how fast you lose a skill if you don't use it for a few years

In my current day job of product development and client-side engineering, I haven't been messing much with ASP, other then the occasional support for some in-house apps

I recently took a side job to make a database driven website for a jewelry store. The front end was a piece of cake, and took less time then I estimated. The asp back-end/adming tool/shopping cart on the other hand, bleh. Having been working pretty much 100% with Javascript, I "lost" the ASP syntax, methods, etc. I had to look all that up on google. I knew "what" I wanted to do, but I just couldn't write it off the cuff like I can with JS these days.

In the end, it took certainly longer then planned, but I'm glad that I did it. I got the "asp mindset" back, and I haven't lost a step in my day job either. Guess I came out smarter overall :)
