Skill sets still decide choices between C#, VB.NET and Java

Sorry, stopped reading when the author showed themselves to be ignorant: "...61.5% – are using C# as their main programming language, followed by VB.NET (11.1%), ASP.NET (8.8%), Java (8.4%) and C++ (3%)" Yes, because ASP.NET really is a language all to itself :rolleyes: -- modified at 7:07 Thursday 21st December, 2006 (Spelling)

ASP can be interpreted as a language can't it? I mean PHP is a language and they have similar functions don't they?

PHP is similar to ASP in that PHP lets you create web pages with embedded code that runs at the server end. However, PHP has its own specific syntax, as it is a single language You can create ASP pages in C# or VB or any other supported language In a similar way, CGI is a system that lets executables run on the web server and output html markup (or xml, or any other mime type you fancy) CGI seems typically to be written in perl, but it can in fact use any language capable of outputting text to std::out (such as C++)

Fair enough.

It's not you :), people say 'oh I program in .net' or agencies say 'we've got a position for .net programmer', these guys haven't a clue.

I'd have to argue there. A .NET programmer is somebody who programs the .NET CLR using one of the .NET languages. I'd hardly go so far as to say a .NET programmer is somebody who writes MSIL code, but yes, there is such a thing as a .NET programmer, but they have to specialize in one of the .NET languages to do that.

Just so you know, I don't pretend to be a .Net programmer. I can do a bit in C# but my best work is done with legacy languages (PHP[not-so-legacy], C++, Java, etc.). [addin] infact i own: http://www.IDontWantToUse.net[^] I had forgotten about that until just then... better start on it! [/addin]

Is it the author that's ignorant? Or the people who voted that ASP.NET was their main programming language of choice?? I vote the latter. :)

Hrmm, as you may be right... :) I do not think this survey took that into account. It's more likely the guys who write web applications who use drag and drop methods said they use ASP.Net as their primary language... :laugh:

It's easy to cover up just by keeping the survey results but phrasing it as Development Tool of Choice instead of Language of Choice.
