    This isn't a programming questions. I am in a CONFUSION . Currently I am working in a vary small company as a VC++(System Programmer). The Company has vary few ( only 3, including me ) employee as VC++ programmer. And they are just giving pittance(very few salary) for that as they dont't have much work.(Overall I am not getting salary nor good Experience) I am here For (in this company as well as in this line, VC++ programmer ) four months. Now I am getting chance to work in Other good (MNC) Company on ASP. Net, But the Problem is that it's on contract basis ( i.e. after 1 year my service will be terminated ). But the Salary is Good as compare to this company. Now I dont't know what to do ??? should I stay in this company ??? or should change the field ?? You suggestions are expected.

      I guess it depends. Do you think if you take the ASP.NET job, you will learn enough to compete in that market ? You'll certainly learn more marketable skills. Are you married ? If I were single, I'd take the ASP.NET job for sure.

        I am single.( But planning to get married in 1 year. )But I dont't know much about the Market. ( i.e. wich technology is good to survive in the Market) becuase after each and every few years a new technology comes in a market and try to shift the other old technology.This occures most frequent in the WEB Devlopment and vary less in System Programming.(thats what I think ) I just want to know how is the future of ASP.net as compare to VC++

          Yes this happens. But what I felt was, most of the application are being converted to web. Microsoft is introducing cool technologies to power the web. So ASP.NET won't be a bad choice.

            Single as you mentioned as Single and nowadays Microsoft is introducing New Technologies I would prefer with the Asp.Net itself. And to be a better software programmer in this market we have to come through all the new advancement in this field. But as of today Asp.Net is in good position for Developing the web applications and please stick on to it.

                Don't sit there feeling fustrated. Move. Remember ASP.Net is not a language, it's a web application platform. Moving to work in ASP.Net will only expand your horizons. You don't actually have to leave C++ behind entirely (though I would recommend moving to C#, which should be a fairly easy transition for a C++ systems programmer!) ASP.Net as a platform has been growing steadily over the last few years and is going to be around for a good while yet! As far as short term contracts go, a year is a long time. Get your head down, work hard, and learn as much as you can. You'll be amazed at what opportunities open up for you with C++ systems and ASP.Net experience on your CV. Go do it and best wishes to you!:)

                    Depends on which sector of the market you want to progress in I guess, both C++ and ASP.NET have a relatively strong share of the market for experienced users - and can be well payed. - If you want to get into the OS\real time development side of things stay with C++ - If you want to get into the web side of things, online apps and SQL databases go with the ASP.NET (and learn C#, it is way better thean VB.NET) I personally would go for the ASP.NET job as learning multiple disciplines is always beneficial for a good developer.

                            I would suggest you go for the ASP.Net role. Gain the experience and move on at the end of the year. Some of these contracts end up turning into full time jobs anyway. I would however, keep up your VC++ so that if you are looking for a new job/contract in a years time you have a good mix of skills. Good luck!

                            Oh, uh, good question. Now technically speaking, uhh, let's say, put me down as a... 'Whatever'?

                              Its good MNC and in the same town I am living. But the thing is that the job is contract basis ( 1 year only).

                                Is this company is in your town/state i.e. Gujarat. Or situated at any IT hub (Metros + Pune, Banglore or Hyderabad). I want to work in vc++, so I faced all hardship and stay put to it, initial years for vc++ is difficult as he/she gaining experience in that but it your own call, if MNC is big, that will whole lot of learning there as you not only learn language, but you will learn processes too.

                                    This isn't a programming questions. I am in a CONFUSION . Currently I am working in a vary small company as a VC++(System Programmer). The Company has vary few ( only 3, including me ) employee as VC++ programmer. And they are just giving pittance(very few salary) for that as they dont't have much work.(Overall I am not getting salary nor good Experience) I am here For (in this company as well as in this line, VC++ programmer ) four months. Now I am getting chance to work in Other good (MNC) Company on ASP. Net, But the Problem is that it's on contract basis ( i.e. after 1 year my service will be terminated ). But the Salary is Good as compare to this company. Now I dont't know what to do ??? should I stay in this company ??? or should change the field ?? You suggestions are expected.

                                    What is ur overall experience in IT? If u r a beginner in VC++ and frustrated with it, just change ur path to ASP.Net. If u r an experience VC++ programmer, try to get similar job. Now a days its very difficult to find a well versed C++ programmer. you can easily get a good job in VC++ itself. Think twise and act accordingly. Sirajudeen (VC++ programmer)

                                      Yes I am beginner Programmer. But I haven't frustrated with VC++ programming. Only the problem is that my company does't have much work. and so they are also not giving good salary.

                                          In your case, my suggession is to go with ASP.Net. Because it is newer technology compared to VC++ and from there you can easily learn C#.Net. Changing the platform is quite common among software developers. So if you are interested to learn newer technology/platform, you can swith to ASP.Net. But, since you are switching within a short period of serivice from your current company, be ready to justify yourself in the interviews. (Salary hike is not an advisable reply). If possible, you can ignore ur current company from ur CV.
