Well, if you have a passion for technology, I think that learning new
things should be a lovely task, at least for me it is.
I fully agree.
So, learning MFC does not mean don't learn C# and .NET (or other
technologies). I think that languages and libraries are *tools*, you
have to learn these tools for your needs.
There are different uses for each of the software paradigms. That's why
MSFT sells them all, not to complete, but to complete.
If you need to write device drivers, I think that C/C++ is the way to
go (by the way, I never wrote a device driver, even if I would love to
learn about it!).
No doubt about that :o)
If Microsoft "closes" the Win32 APIs for next versions of Windows,
you'll learn the new technology, be it C# and .NET or others. I'm sure
that Microsoft will always offer you some API to develop software for
their OSs.
I'd be really suprised if MSFT deprecates the API. They may change it from
time to time, but I think it's here to stay for the foreseeable future.
(About it, I absolutely disagree with the European Union folks who are
suing Microsoft for monopoly: I can't understand them! Microsoft gives
cool APIs to develop apps on Windows, so what's the problem? Even Sun
or Apple can buy Visual Studio and develop apps for Windows, and sell
them :-)
The only way to break a monopoly is to stop purchaing products from the
company. Not likely that's going to happen. Are any of the people suing
MSFT actually using the products? I'd guess yes.
Moreover, C# seems to me a very well designed language, and I'm going
to learn it in my spare time.
C# is easy to use, but from my perspective, very focused.
Linux seems to me a kind of "snake oil"...
It's fun to have it in a virtual machine or in a partition and play
with it sometimes, and maybe try hacking the kernel if you want to
study how an OS works... but for real business I see no serious use
for Linux.
Actually, a guy I work with just downloaded (12 hours) and installed a new
Linux on his notebook and he says it looks pretty darn good for the price
and installation was very easy (no activation codes or upgrade limits, etc.)
Moreover the plug-and-play is poor on Linux, etc. etc.
I don't find it to be all that great on Windows either. I have a printer
driver that swears it can't find the printer every time I boot, yet the
printer continues to work OK. I can't get rid of the pesky message to save
my life... Windows keeps rediscovering the printer even though it's already
installed.
However, I think you can't pretend quality, robust code, profesisonal
support, etc. when people are not paid; for me, Linux could be a fun
hobby, but not much more.
I haven't jumped from Windows either, but I wouldn't count Linux out. A lot
of incredibly smart people have worked and are working on it.
Tom
