Dated, but a highly recommended reading for functional programmers by John Hughes of Institutionen Datavetenskap, Abstract: As software becomes more and more complex, it is more and more important to structure it well. Well-structured software is easy to write, easy to debug, and provides a collection of modules that can be re-used to reduce future programming…

Being able to simply open the GAC in Explorer and drag/drop is gone (so yeah, no shell!). Also GacUtil.exe is not present on the server…
