MFC Anyone?
-
It seems like a large porportion of the articles and messages being posted are .net, C#, ASP.net related. Currently, I don't have Visual Studio.net yet and I'm not sure that I will get it soon. Is there still a large demand for MFC (VC6/7) apps and components? I have numerous articles/components which I am planning on posting but before I do I just wanted to know if there is still a lot of interest in it? Also, should I bother with managed code/C#? (I'm definitely planning on using ASP.net)
I don't see myself using C# and .NET until it becomes established. The .NET servers aren't even out yet. My guess is that I'll be using those technologies and languages in about 2-3 years. I've budgeted training and upgrades to .NET for 2003. I still in the research stages, because I've learned my lesson about being an early adaptor.

How did the whole job thing go ? Christian The tragedy of cyberspace - that so much can travel so far, and yet mean so little. And you don't spend much time with the opposite sex working day and night, unless the pizza delivery person happens to be young, cute, single and female. I can assure you, I've consumed more than a programmer's allotment of pizza, and these conditions have never aligned. - Christopher Duncan - 18/04/2002
Which one. Staffware (whom I approached directly) are not starting anyone for about a month. The manager who interviewed me tried to get me a second interview this week to then start ASAP but the executives said no they would wait. They are using agencies to find 3 people, I got in early through my direct approach and since they are a competitor to Pegasystems I have all the skills they require. Just have to wait (In the mean time my new/old machine is nearlt installed and I think I have an article to contribute. Nothing too fancy, but a start. Just waiting for Nish to respond as it was inspired by one of his latest articles which covers stuff I have been sendiong directly to people via email for a couple of years. Can't believe an article was so close and I couldn't see it.). The other one I am waiting for the agent to get back to me this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Don't know I you remember a month or two ago, a regular asked about a certain company. You and I said badish things about them and I received a direct email from him stating he had an interview with them. Well guess who is going for a job at the same company? Not sure if I will get it, as I have been a consultant for the past 3 years and haven't worked on a product aimed at the mass market. But I'll just wait and see. Damn but CP is fast from this computer here at JobFind (Dole job agency). Searching Job websites is slow as hell but CP is like greased lightning.

MFC is still a lot hotter than .NET :-) Go ahead in full swing and post those articles Matt :-) Nish

I, personally, will continue to use C++ and MFC, though I am interested in looking at WTL. her legs were like peanut butter - smooth and creamy and easy to spread

I lost interest in MFC 3 years back. I have never used MFC since then except to write a migration app. It has been only ATL/COM/VB for me now it is only C#/.NET. But I think you should still post your components as they might be useful and also some people may migrate it.

Well, I don't know much, but it looks interesting. I'm the sort of person who gets confused when the library hides all the details (like MFC) and then when you want to do something a little different it's difficult. her legs were like peanut butter - smooth and creamy and easy to spread

WTL takes some good stuff from MFC - nice UI classes mostly, but other tidbits too like
CString- and strips out all the doc/view stuff, exchanges a 1MB DLL for ATL-style templates, and ends up being a damn fine library. Check out my WHotfixCheck2 article (system section I believe) - that entire wizard is written in WTL. --Mike-- Buy me stuff! Like the Google toolbar? Then check out UltraBar, with more features & customizable search engines! My really out-of-date homepage Big fan of Alyson Hannigan and Jamie Salé. Sonork - 100.10414 AcidHelm -

I'm trying desperately to update my programming skills from the procedural era to the current event-driven model, and I would very much appreciate any tutorials and examples you'd care to post. I'm accustomed to learning a new language three or four times a year, but after a ten year hiatus I appreciate all the help I can get! The trivial samples provided by MS and most books never come close to real-world applications, and it's only here, at CP, that I can find realistic application code to study. Please keep writing and teaching me and others like me!
