Visual .net - should I go for it?
-
Let's just say I'm a programmer from way back - assembly (Compass), Pascal, ADA, Fortran, Lisp, Prolog, C, C++, Java - yuck, etc.. I prefer C++, generally with CC/g++ on Unix/Linux and Visual C++ 6 on Window's platforms. I mainly work with mathematics, physics, and image processing scientific applications. Question: where should I go next? I'm starting to see more requests for ".net programmers". Everything that I know about .net, I've learned from cursory scanning of this web site. Question: should I invest in a .net license to keep up with current applications programmers, or is there nothing in .net for me to get excited about? I appreciate any responses on this matter. Schro - sorry, I just can't get into "smiley's".

Nah. If you wanna just start playing with the stuff for free, go download the .NET Framework distributable (which you can get from Windows Update if you're on Windows, www.go-mono.org otherwise). You can compile stuff on the command line if you want, and edit source in a good old text editor. For Windows, there's a cool open-source tool that you can use as an IDE; I've used it and it's pretty nice! It's at www.icsharpcode.net. Good luck. Regards, Jeff Varszegi
