How do we feed ,cloth,etc and communicate with 6 billion + people without electronics and other technology? How many of us would die in a matter of weeks without it. We need to address the problems that some of our technology creates and learn to use the phrase "Is this a necessary and appropriate use for this technology.", before we build it not after.

The future holds little hope for writing killer apps(web or not) that won't be duplicated almost instantly. When it take less and less skill and training to create an application there are not going to be a lot of rich programmers. In the late 1920's it was predicted that at the rate the phone system was growing, over 60% of the entire population would have to be employed as a switchboard operator. Then came the auto switch. In the 1980's it the same thing was said about programmers...... Technology is changing faster and faster, to expect to be employed doing one thing for long periods of time is not realistic. The money makers will continue to be the few who are in the right place at the right time with the right stuff. The key to making a steady non extravagant living is flexibility, and adaptability.

I have been using Vista(32 bit) for over a year now for everything. It is a good OS if you have the hardware to run it. I run at home on an HP with dual core AMD processor and 3 gig of Ram. At work its a 24 inch iMac with 4 gig running under VMWare Fusion so windows gets 2 gig. VS 2008 is a slow pig on both but my colleagues using xp and 2 gig say the same. Any way I recommend VISTA because its whats going to be the dominate OS (the next os is still Vista core). Until everything is hyper visor and clouds that is.

The iPhone is just the tip of what is comming for mobile computing devices. The next five years is gonna make the last ten seem as if we where standing still as far as technology goes.

VS 2008 is by far the best version to date for so many reasons. Only downsize is its large footprint . I run it on a MAC running VISTA under VMWARE FUSION so it can be a bit slow to load large projects with lots of pages but its built in features and great support for third party enhancements make it a winner.:cool:

I am about to install Windows Vista Ultimate and VS2008 on am iMac with 2 gig of ram. I will be using VMWARE fusion and boot camp as testing platforms. Does anyone have any experience doing this? Does anyone want to hear from me about the results? Suggestions? Please don't bash Vista I have been using it for over a year and find it to be secure, and for a one year old operating system, reliable and compatible with most thing I use on windows.

I am of the group who could not imagine living a single day with out having some good read along with me. I read on average 1 book per week in addition to the tech mags ect required to attempt to keep up with the software development field. I am 60 years old and still thirst for knowledge. I have a standing order with a friend of mine that says that if I ever phone him up and tell him that I learned nothing new today, he is to come over and shoot me.

Hey its called Visual BASIC(Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. ) Its was designed as a teaching tool. It obviously works. The problems arise because its often self taught so the student learns nothing about good design and structure.

Learning the basics of computer architecture,and machine language should be a primary requisite of any Comp Si course or nearly any science course. Its as important as mathematics. I started out in a BSEE regimen before the advent of digital electronics, microprocessors and such where just being developed so a course in basic computer architecture including generic machine programming changed my life. I went to work for Motorola, doing in house test equipment design, while still in school. Got involved in programming on 6800 and z80's and 8080 processors. Now I use VB, C#, for most stuff but because of the training in the basics, can learn new languages with ease. One thing of course about C.S. courses is they don't teach most of the real world skills that are needed.

Free ware, shareware, do it yourself web site builders, open source..... whatever you want to call it has and will continue to change how software is used, and created. The world is becoming flat. By that I mean todays and tomorrows technologies are leveling the playing fields. Soon everyone who need "custom" applications will be cutting and mashing them together from the "cloud" of API"s and other tools available. In fact VS 2005 and 2008 are examples of how fast the paradigm is spreading. I use both and just the other day I was thinking,'When was the last time you typed more that a few words or even letters at a time when programming?', almost everything I do is cut and paste thanks to code snippets and inteli-sense. This is enabling technology, so yes it enables bad solutions to many problems, but people don't care how elegant the solution is, so long as it's a usable solution.

I have programmed in Basic since mid 70(and with a lot of other languages). Basic and the VB have been the bulk of my code. Until this year. I now you C# for everything and would never go back to VB.
