Desktop Apps
-
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.

All day every day. Well most of the day most days, there's a few 'web' back ends around now as well as some Windows Services etc. But most of our software is WinForms. Struggling with what tech to migrate to though - need something that targets desktop as first class, but also want it to be both cross platform and cross-form factor (desktop to mobile and back agai etc) as well as play more nicely with touch. I guess what UWP tried to be, but failed. Now we're considering... react and the web *shudder*. Sigh.

Good luck dude. I am struggling through my first website now, and I pretty much hate it. I am using DevEX tools and that helps, somewhat.

We do, I prefer desktop apps over web apps any day.

Not only do I still write desktop apps, I have several still in production that are in VB as well.
VB6 or VB.Net. I am currently worling in both.:cool:

Yes ... I find no joy in "web development". BTW, the "desktop" includes x86, x64, ARM, PC's, tablets, HDMI TV's (display), Mobile, Hub, Hololens and XBox.

Well, and I'm speaking as primarily a desktop developer myself, HTML is one of the very few "common denominator" things that potentially works on anything that has a screen. Now, I wish people in my area hired developers who know HTML/CSS/JS rather than having 20 years in the latest "framework of the week" that causes what should be simple Web pages or Web apps to weigh dozens of GB and to take 45 minutes to load on a mid-range phone over a 5G network.
