I've been working on a xsd form driven system, that dynamically builds the form elements, then use Jquery to post it to xml.
The only development I have to write is the services to retrieve data and post data to the existing systems. That for the last 30 years the IT world would have called legacy systems, as they strived to duplicate the database and form programming work.

JAVA and .NET are has beens, it's all about the DOM on the client side now.

Generics and reflection in the back end and Jquery in the front end.
(I use Jquery synonymously with all JavaScript frameworks)

I call my style squatting on Microsoft. Everything in my web project is just straight up HTML, and any services I build are Restful so don't have to include any web services in my project. You can keep the MVC projects with the convoluted test projects that you've got to massage your application to successfully pass those stupid tests.Calling a service from a Jquery Ajax call is all the test you need. The damn thing either works or it doesn't. And the ridiculous entity framework, and bloated ASP.NET keep that shit too.
Throw all of that shit away. Microsoft would be a more respected platform. If people realized underneath all of that Cartoon bullshit there's a real web server running.

Thanks Cap'n.

Try the San Francisco or Silicon Valley Business times, there are jobs listed on the right hand side and when I typed "salary" in the search box, this is the first one that came up and it was for a Senior JavaScript Developer at 130-160K.

That seems low for the SF area to me. I mean, I can get that around here.
