how's software built today?

is everyone using apple's object C or is it just me?

Not me. C# most of the time. I'm familiar with VB6 but play dum to avoid having to touch it. I dabble in c++, asp.net and javascript sometimes when the interest takes me, but I rarely have to use any of it at work. I like to play with mono at home, but it's just a subset of .net really, I wish MS would support it more fully.

You mention a lot of obscure technologies. Wouldn't want to work with those. I use LINCII, the definitive programming platform. Here's a gem of what you can do with it :).

Why limit myself to a system with five percent of the market?

aha LINC (Laugh I Nearly Cried or Look Its Nearly Cobol)

Go away and research the subject, analyze the options for and against, understand the problem and them come back when you agree with me.

I thought Object C was the iPhone Ap stuff. That's not 5% of that market. Of the World market, iPhone is likely a lot less than 5% total. But in smart phone ap market I am thinking that they make a significant number.

Real men program by setting the bits on the HDD manually using tweezers, tiny magnets and a big magnifying lens.

Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit! Buzzwords!

Chuck Norris doesn't need tweezers, he roundhouse kicks the bits into place.

Real men don't program. :laugh:

I am using C++ and Qt. Been doing that since sometime in 2008. Since then I have one application that is in production and a second in development. In this time, I have written about 100K lines of code in Qt. Before that for 10.5 years I programmed in MFC and churned out 500K to 750K lines of MFC code for the 5 or so major projects I have done with MFC. With all of this said I work in an industry that is always trying to push current hardware to its limits even today. Being forced to load 2GB images on a 32 bit windows OS because the most recent driver created for US 5 million pixel displays (that cost about $10K US each) was written for windows 2000 is the kind of task I handle.
