Who still predominantly codes for the desktop for a living?
Seems like you meant to post this in the Lounge, not Insider News. Been there, done that. :) As to your question, I am currently coding projects in/with/for/on: ASP.NET/Razor Misc web applications (my own back-end server and a few 3rd party Javascript client frameworks) Desktop utilities in C# Server-side DLL plugins / WCF WPF desktop app WinForm (using DevExpress) desktop apps Beaglebone Single Board Computer in Python It's interesting when I list that, as I often enough touch every one of those projects in a single day. So, "predominantly" doesn't really exist for me, it's pretty much all over the map. Marc

Yeah but there probably aren't many who over achieve like you do.
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Ridiculous. I've been doing desktop dev for 30+ years and will continue to so. There is no shortage of work out there.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is. Everything makes sense in someone's mind. Ya can't fix stupid.
I'm predominately desktop myself (and very much hope to be until I retire) but there's clearly less desktop work around than there used to be and I don't see anything remotely ridiculous about raddevus' comment.
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

If by desktop you include 'a Windows based interface in a Type 35 frigate' then yes, thats where my drivers are going. :)
