    I've been browsing and I saw all these languages and thought that maybe Java plays a big role? Why aren't there JAVA Boards in CP?

    Well, if you think about it, covering the Java language would not be sufficient. As with other languages supported here on CP, you'd also have to "invest" in supporting dialogs on Java tools, platforms, etc. I think the resulting site would be too much of a mishmash users, special interests, and technologies. Not to mention probably needing to support discussions on both pure Java and JavaScript (enough of which happens anyways as part of the ASPxxx forums). (There, now I gave a reasonable explanation instead of the half-a-dozen or so flip answers that came to mind). Marc

          Parts of Visual Studio. I have over 500 users for the RDC software I wrote in C#, and will soon have a similar number for a radiograph viewing program. The point is that Java UI has always sucked in Windows. Oracle, for example. Their DB is fine, but the (Java) client tools are a disaster.

                          Unlikely. :) [rambling] Well, I'm going to say goodnight from this side of the world. Weather here has been absolutely gorgeous. 70's (F), clear skies (except for the contrails), flowers are busting up out of the ground everywhere, etc. After that discussion last week on books, I've decided to persue my personal dreams, and that is, to write a book on Application Development With Interacx. Should be interesting. And with gorgeous weather comes the people washing their cars on their lawns, blasting the car stereo, running the vaccuum cleaner, and leaving the keys in the ignition. Bing-bing, bing-bing, bing-bing. :sigh: [/rambling] Marc

                            I AM a high level cleric! It's friggin expensive nowadays. Stupid fighters seem to be getting too cocky. Ooh, the cleric can rez me. Ooh, the cleric has wands. And besides, I want to use some of that mana for offensive casting. But no. Fighters just think I'm a walking shrine. :rolleyes: Ratleg aka Marc

                                Actually at this point thousands, we make a *very* good living off just two that are used world wide in over 40 countries by thousands of users, but don't let reality stand in the way of your absurd opinion.

                                      I've been browsing and I saw all these languages and thought that maybe Java plays a big role? Why aren't there JAVA Boards in CP?

                                        Hmm...I'm looking at my toolbar: MS Powershell, XamlPad, Yahoo Messenger (new one is .NET 3 + WPF), Lutz Reflector, RSS Reader, Visual Studio, IE7, with an XBAP opened in a tab. What CG was talking about was the hideous, non-native UI that Java apps were known for. That doesn't apply to .NET since it's using the native toolkit under the hood.
