Story: Microsoft admits .Net skills shortage
Posted by: Bill Ballsmall (Wednesday 16 November 2005, 1:12 AM)
,NET 2 framework obsolesces 1.1! We had to throw our newly-written .NET codebase away!
Just as Microsoft obsolesced VB6 and ASP, so Microsoft has "deprecated" .NET 1.1 and 1.0 code. The new ASP.NET 2 framework has different controls and is "declarative". So we're f**ked, must toss all the code we've written and now must learn the new .NET 2.0 framework.
The only company to make money from .NET will be Microsoft.
Joel Spolsky was right in saying that .NET was a way for Microsoft to slow it's competitors by forcing a recode of all applications to a new framework and new languages.
Meanwhile, Microsoft still writes all their code in C++, not in the new .NET C# or VB.NET.
