    It's x86, x64 on PC's for me. But I'm just a simple guy.

    Slow or simple? Hey! You only get one adjective here at CP! So pick one!

    If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

          The point was, as a VS "desktop" developer, you can target all those devices with one code base. The VS "package builder" handles the rest.

                  I'm rewriting an winforms app I wrote several years ago in wpf. I've not been able to devote a lot of time to it though.

                        Sure, most of my projects are desktop applications and that is not because I choose it, but because it is required from the clients. It's a long way from being dead

                          I (mostly) only do desktop apps. Without them, how else would one do web apps?

                              The funny thing is I did nothing at all! :O I sent 2 job applications, changed my mind.. (there was some miscommunication at work and, well, I really shouldn't have left but it was unclear at the time), then a HR call me with an opportunity (not the one I applied for, I think) and I was like mm... not really interested but sure tell me about it.. and then she said EA Game in Melbourne, for the Frostbite team is looking for a WPF developer.. and I was like... really, sign me in! :O Apparently they are on a hiring spree right at the moment.. and also had trouble finding anyone with WPF experience, lucky me I guess...! :D

                                    I do both desktop and web apps. In fact, I'm still doing active development on the first desktop lob app I was hired as a part-time college student to help with in '99. :) My ratio of desktop to web app development has gradually shifted over the last 10 years or so toward most new projects being browser based. Personally, I prefer desktop apps due to the stateless and sometimes unpredictable nature of the web. BTW, many moons ago, I lived/worked on the north shore in Mandeville. :) Great times! :laugh:

                                        Rarely, I write mostly back-end code and other applications with no users. But a few utility programs as well.
