    I never claimed that. I just pointed out that it has not been around for 35 years. And I do not like .NET myself, it has however teached me a lot about coding structures. I could step onto Java any time I want right now, C++ too. I think .NET is a good way to get started in coding. That however, is my opinion.

    i am agree but just start with it . for being professional must drown into programming and reconize what is going on into your .net classes! i think is better to understand anything instead of just knowing how use it!

      i dnt code in assembly but its my dream ! :) i know languages try to become OOP and i dnt say .NET is bad thing , OOP like C# (my favourite) is interesting thing becouse my class can have childs,dady and ... i just asked its not good if we go more down into programming and if we know anything that we make is completly writen by ourselves not just a little part? (biggest part writen by .net programmers)

      As said it comes with passion. One has to think beyond and build frameworks and not just use the ones which Microsoft provides. As I have seen almost all companies do build their own in house wrapper or framework libraries either by extending or their own. If you are doing such things then you will feel more enthusiastic and feel like you are doing really a nice thing. I really see the power and future of .NET and of-course it makes life more easy but in the other end think about no framework libraries then it would have been a hectic job to write all stuffs by ourselves in building things. Ultimately as I believe MS has analysed all these things with other programming languages and they did their best part in bringing up the frameworks and Improving stuffs with each new releases.

        So am I. Low level code is fun to do: I have been involved with embedded software for most of my working life. But there is very, very little satisfaction from reinventing the wheel - particularly if you do it over and over with each new programming job you do. .NET allows you to focus on your code, your task - without having to write a combobox from scratch (which is a very,. very dull thing to do and get right). It's about freeing your time and making your effort more effective. Yes, it is a very good idea to know what is going on "behind the scenes" - but it shouldn't be the only thing you try to do! And you don't have to be rich to code with .NET, even as a complete amateur - each and every version of VS has included free Express editions which miss out very little that an amateur would need.

        I can't confirm that. Writing my own UI actually was a lot of fun, not really hard and at least I hope I got some things right. :)

          its just a private idea , really .net is not killing natural of programming? i mean in .net sometimes with one line you can do something wich needs more than 10 lines! it makes programming so simple and faster but in this situations i dnt feel im programming really ! maybe because my codes complete so fast :laugh: ! whats your idea? agree or not?

          Comming from a COBOL world where our motto was "Why use one line when two will do", I love the simplicity of .NET

            .NET has lasted ten years now (V1.1 came out with VS2003!) which is pretty good going these days. Yes, it makes MS money - but it's not quite as bad as Office, where you have to update your whole company because one of your customers upgraded and you can't read their documents any more! :mad: Don't get me wrong - I came up through the machine-code/assembler/c/c++ route after starting Uni with COBOL and FORTRAN - it's not the best it could be. But it does cut development and maintenance time considerably by removing the need to recode and retest a linked list every time, and a string class, and a ... It's certainly a shed load better than MFC ever was!

              When you start learning it, beware of tutorials about 16bit x86. It's unnecessarily complex. The silly (by todays standards) memory model, all the missing instructions and the severely restricted memory operand encoding are all things you can learn later if you really want, but they can easily overwhelm a beginner. Just jump right into 32bit. Or into something other than x86.

                True, especially the early versions which were a horror to work with. I used to compare it to gouging your own eyes out with a rusty spoon...

                  Z80 is a good (if rather old) start, or 68000. Avoid ARM for beginners (it's truly lovely to work with, but if that's a RISC instruction set I'm a lump of cheese), and any PC based Intel processor until you have got into the mindset of assembler. PIC is good, but a pain to learn on because it relies on the hardware so much and you end up debugging both at the same time...

                    i said many times! i like .NET and microsoft ,But as you said yourself ! .NET is a product to help us to make our product simply! and if i make a combobox, i compile it as DLL , and will use it on my next projects! its deifference with .net is, I MADE MY OWN Control AND i will use my own ! actually after making it , i know how make it , so its will increase my programming skill !

                      In the early 90'ies I was over in the land of OS/2 - where we had the IBM Open Class[^] library, MQ Series and DB/2. Returning to the world of MFC & Access was a culture shock - but thanks to Delphi & C++ Builder I didn't run away screaming - I also lucked out and had a number of customers that understood the difference between Access and the Oracle RDBMS - I also had one that didn't, and wanted a 16-bit Access version of the product too - I should have said no, but didn't. :-\

                              exactly ! anyone can have his/her own! i am not judging this ! if every beginner accustom to use ready codes, so next races of programmers are too lazy , and become far from real programming! i scare in next versions of .NET , we use wizards to make anythings! actually .NET is a gift to making money! and i like it! if i code for fun, i try to write more codes!

                                      And in Perl, you can write an entire application with one line of code.

                                      In C-like languages as well -- provided there are no directives.

                                        its just a private idea , really .net is not killing natural of programming? i mean in .net sometimes with one line you can do something wich needs more than 10 lines! it makes programming so simple and faster but in this situations i dnt feel im programming really ! maybe because my codes complete so fast :laugh: ! whats your idea? agree or not?

                                        The important thing is implementing the required functionality. The next thing to consider is that your bug density is usually fairly constant, ie #bugs/line of code. Thus anything that reduces the lines of code while still implementing the functionality is a good thing. Because I keep learning new things about the .NET Framework, and I've been using it since V1Beta, and all the great OSS libraries being developed, some days my number of lines of code is negative. When this happens I think its great because the code is now simpler to understand, easier to maintain, and usually more robust. Until they invent a compiler that does what I want instead of what I say, the more pieces of Lego of different sizes I get to string together to create working programs, the better.

                                          Yes, I'd much rather draw every button with fifty lines of code each.

                                          I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
