On a scale of fiendishness where 1 is a hamster and 10 is a lawyer's accountant's accountant, I'd probably give it about 3 and a half.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I would argue that chefs don't create them, they just put food on them, but chefs would argue back.

They would - and not too many people have ever won an argument with a chef.
I rather suspect that you have the solution ...

Ghoulish??

Nope, not ghoulish. An answer which has giving me a sudden craving for goulash. Can we please stop talking about food?

Yay! We have a winner (even that rhymes with dinner - there's just no getting away from food today!)

Would you develop a website using Microsoft tools, with all the incredible learning curve and expense? Or would you just go the easy - but effective - route and use the WordPress solution your client's hosting provider offers as a development platform?
I've got the Microsoft tools in Visual Studio, and I've got the Adobe tools in the Creative Suite, and I'm not too fond of either. I can use them, but it's a huge effort, usually on my own time, to get up to speed and fairly proficient after a long break. My new employer needs a website that works - it's currently crippled with almost no functionality - and I'm the only one to do it. The current site was done with WordPress, but never completed. And some of their suppliers offer APIs to link with their online ordering systems to make sales on behalf of the affiliate members. Most of those are written using WordPress, so I'm going to have to deal with that sometime...
Given that there's going to be a huge learning curve for me to come up to speed on modern versions of any of these platforms, which would you recommend that I choose for my employer's new website?

If it's already half-done in wordpress, why triple your pain?

Depends on if it's done well or not I'd say.
|

Good or bad, it's a start. It's usually quicker to fix an existing attempt than to start from scratch (I'm assuming that the guys had an idea what was needed, and just couldn't implement in time).

Only a little less than half done with Umbraco, and there's no PHP!
|
|
|
|
|
At this point, it's far less than half done. There's a front page with pictures and that's about it!

I wonder if any Microsoft tools/products were used to make WordPress tools/products?
|
|
|
|
|
QBasic, I think.

Funny you should mention that, because now there is now a new IDE to develop Android apps in pseudo-VB.NET.
|
|
|
|
|
It's been around for a few years at least. And it's pretty amazing. It's not going to be able to write every single type of app out there, but it certainly does exactly what it says it does.

Write for Android without squirly brackets? Has to be a winner!

Now you show some respect for curly braces[1], young man. And mind you place the opening one on a new damned line!
[1] curly is actually redundant here.

|
Maybe I should be ashamed, but I actually like the idea!

I prefer using notepad++ (a simple word processor) instead of some Microsoft tools.
