During my internship @Soundtracker I worked officially for the first time in a .NET environment in a dynamic team composed of about 20 people, I had the chance to develop parts of the front end side of the application, doing bugfixing, implementing minor features and working on the layout of the app's sections. When I got there, since the codebase was already pretty large and developed in a professional way, I could explore the various parts of the project, learning a lot from the style of coding, the patterns implemented and the fundamental architecture of the app.The benefits I had are related to :Improving my knowledge of C# and the OOP paradigm, discovering delegates and classes serialization.Developing WP8 layouts using XML.Learning about the JSON format and the MVVM pattern.
