      using Visual Studio .NET (2002, 2003, 2005) don't make you a ".NET programmer", because you can do whatever you were doing with VC++6 with it... if your project uses MFC, then migrate to VS.NET will use the newsion of the MFC library, not the framework .NET. however, you have to take note that now, Visual Studio 6 support has been abbandonned by microsoft...

        Hi Ankush I am the same vc++ prog and plannig to get some .net exams . As i think desktop applications will move to .net But for certain things like DDK will be same and vc++ is must for it. U can also try to learn some thing which develop crossplatform applications. because that is the future . :cool: Vikas Amin Embin Technology Bombay vikas.amin@embin.com

                alok do you remember what was my second question at you??. the same issue is roaming around in everybody's(most people's) mind. but you know, i started my career with .net but i found some kind of attraction in "VC++", and started doing few smaller things(naturally torturing mr.alok), and my boss found something good in me and moved to me this domain. now i've to study not only VC++ but also the Computer-telephony-Integration (CTI). i've done quite useful things in here. but still i feel insecure.. without learning dot net. may be i'll have take a strong decision soon. i'm scared too buddy :(

                  but i tell u VC++ is the real programming language. it talks straight to the machine. and not any Virtual Machine ;P .i always wanted to call myself VC++ programmer rather than dot net programmer. hey still there are lots of scope for VC++ in India. have you heard about HUGES Software? they are hiring a lot. once you become strong in VC++. you'll be able to work on any domain. i'm finding it easy to manage my new CTI challenge. and also have in mind that once you conquer VC++, other languages are nothing for you. you can learn too fast. trust me.

                      So buddy you mean right now i should focus myself on vc++.(I am a 2005 passed out comp.engg. graduate working in vc++ 6.0).After i am strong enough, i should move to .net.How much time in vc++ will be okay. thanks for guidance...

                          ya you can do that. but it'll be good if you atleast study concepts about .net side by side.(if not to the implementaion level), try few samples at home, and keep you updated. during office time, you make full of the time for VC++. even i'm not satisfied with my learning curve, i need to work hard a lot. certainly VC++ will give you a strong foundation for your programming career.

                          It depends on your capabilites and commitment, for people like alok, i guess 6 months would be enough to get grip of VC++.

                              if u want to work in backend programming then C/C++ is the best choice.Irrespective of which patform u r working VC++ in case of Windows (gcc in Linux) but in case of front end , no doubt u have lot of choices,but remember be abreast with new technology -- modified at 4:42 Wednesday 28th December, 2005
