Ach du Lieber is an expression in German. It's what you say when you can't believe something really lame has just happened, usually to you. Something like, you are trying to set up your Silverlight application for proper localization, but you keep running into gotchas that you really would have been expected to have been dealt with better by your development process, and your toolset in particular.

I spend a fair amount of the time exploring the questions that application authors pose in the Silverlight.net forums. It's good intellectual exercise for any of the following:

  • Find out what people are doing with Silverlight apps in the real world.
  • Identifying the parts of the learning curve that could use a guardrail.
  • Playing around with features of Silverlight that I don't know as well because one of my illustrious associates knows way more about that area than I do and thus is writing that part of the MSDN docs and not me.
