Victim of MS experiment
-
I think like me, many .net developer are the victim of MS experiment. I learned silverlight, it became outdated. I learned Asp.Net WebForms, now no more supported in vNext. I learned Mobile View features of MVC 4, taken over by bootstrap Knockout got washed away by Angular. I learned Identity in MVC 5, disappeared. Windows 8 tiles were experimented and taken off in Windows 10. Windows 9 experiment went away even before beta release. :) :) I learned IIS and now Microsoft is coming with self hosting website in cloud. They are again experimenting and combining Web API, MVC and other stuffs in MVC 6. Changing a lot of stuffs. By the time we learn those stuffs, they take their step back and experiment something new. Why the hell we are learning those for such a short duration. All such stuffs are inspiring me to stay away from Microsoft and move towards open source for all major stuffs.

Because it's fun and you get paid for that? :rolleyes:

Hmmm, We get paid for providing business solutions not for learning crap technologies. Migration from previous verion of MVC to next version is always a pain. Other technologies are also getting paid good. But they are not as volatile as MS. And many of them has solid core and works quite well.

It may strike you hard, but you can still use COBOL for 99% percent of your development - including web development!!! So why learn new things? To be able to choose the one good for you and not run after Microsoft, just because 'Redmond told so'...

A technology is never "crap", it just can't pace up with the evolving context.

If you mean ASP.NET MVC, you may be correct. I have worked with ASP.NET MVC 5 though. But the whole point is to meet your specific requirements.

So do M$FT technologies.

That's the industry in which we live and breathe. Technology doesn't stand still for anyone. Sometimes the changes don't work, othertimes they do, or sometimes they need further re-work. The point is, it is a constantly moving and shifting industry. If you're not moving forwards then you're going backwards. If you don't like the MS way of doing things, then there are always other technological ecosystems you could use.

I understand how you feel, because I am a victim of my parents ! 1. They created me, and yet I cried a lot when I was a baby. 2. They demanded I learn how to use a toilet, and I did that, and then they never thanked me. 3. I learned how to eat food without it dribbling out of my mouth and falling all around me: they still find things to criticize about the way I eat. 4. They sent me to school, and to high-school, and college, and there was no job waiting for me when I graduated. 5. Now they've stopped sending me money, and told me I can't live with them anymore. They're just like Microsoft !

Yeah, I would slowly shift towards Open Source which is probably not changing so frequently but getting updated with time. I can't do a sudden switch as I have spent 9+ years in MS technologies.

Hmmm, there is a difference.... 10 yrs back, i had option to choose between Java, MS, LAMP, etc. for web development.

But for me, I had to re-write the stuffs many times when migrating to newer version. Had to convert silverlight project to Html 5 in short time. There are many more but... you can understand...

Better example would PHP and Java. It keeps on upgrading with tools and frameworks but don't change the way MS creates new stuffs and shut it down so often.

And who told you that old thing does not work? Nothing had shut down - some ways developers doesn't go on so Microsoft stopped it, others matured... However everything still out-there and you can use if you wish!

You should read the full sentence. You have quoted only half the sentence and given me the answer which I already know. :)

Yeah, Agreed. It is still out there, but discontinued for further development.

The freedoms we see in the rear-view mirror of hindsight are closer than they appear to be.
