C#/Java is more of web development, specifically for e-commerce and/or web presence, which also now requires JavaScript. As for the recommendation of ditching VB is correct. If you look at jobs available, VB is very rare... Most job openings are for C/C++, Java, C#, ASP.NET (primarily C#) - not necessarily in that order. Whether you intend to work for a corporation or not, you still don't want to waste time on a language that's not in demand very much, IMHO. (Note: Those mentioned language uses are found in job searches. I'm sure there many innovative ways to use any programming language.) |
Can't say I agree with almost any of this. No offense but the way you worded this paragraph basically implies; if it can be used for web development its made for web development.
C# is not specific to web development or even 'more of' towards web development. ASP.NET is nothing more then a framework built around the .NET framework to basically plug into C# for web development. The same goes for Java, applets are not the main focus of Java at all. They are just something that can be created with Java.
Job wise, no C# is not specific to web development. I have several friends in the IT field that use C# daily; almost never does it involve anything that touches the web. If the job is specific to ASP.NET, then yes, it will involve C# but it is not the main focus almost ever. Myself included, I use C#, C, C++ almost every day and almost never involve the web unless I am coding a web service specifically.

You do realize the game came before the players right? They didn't choose Java because of 13 million people. This doesn't justify that Java is any better or worse then another language. _________________ - Retired.
