How is the performance though? Is it worth upgrading from Windows 10? or should i stay on windows 10

Hi Has anyone ever gotten Xamarin.forms for android to work? I have been battling xamarin installation for about 3 weeks now and all i am getting are errors. I have removed VS, reinstalled it, installed, reinstalled android sdk,xamarin etc to no avail. I think i will just go back to Ionic, never had this kind of problems. The errors are so vague, and checking online i can see so many people having the same issues without any solution for them Any framework/platform shouldn't be this difficult to install and run. in my language, Na wa o!(i.e its a wonder o)

Never use Linq to SQL. If you are developing in ASP.Net MVC, i think you can use Entity Framework 6 or 7. ORMS have really gotten better in the past few years, and there is not a lot you can't do with them. EF7 infact has improved performance comprd to 6 but still has some missing features.

Its obvious this is not a nigerian. I suspect that,like most of the scams labelled nigerian,this is another scam from U.S

I am not sure how this can happen. If you were using Entity framework, i know this can't happen. EF will inform you that the database and the POCO are out of sync. Also, EF7 is strictly going to be Code first, though you have the option of generating the classes form an already existing db, but after that code first. I think i prefer code first a lot, its very RAD, and migrations allow me to tweak almost anything nowadays.

What i mean about apple n google moving into enterpreise would have been better expressed as "Take over" instead of "move in". My point is if microsoft decides,like everyone is saying to just stick with whatever they feel they are strongest in right now, and dont move into other things, pretty soon,even that there area of supposed strength will be threatened. Consumer space? i was responding to what people said earlier and their classifiaction of MS into enterprise and consumer.

I dont think you guys are considering the fact that once you lose relevance or brand equity ,it will be difficult to get it back. Microsoft has to move into consumer space if not they will find out one day that even their enterprise space has been whittled away. What do you think will happen if apple and google move into enterprise space? What i think will happen is that most of their current customers will also follow since they already trust them. if microsoft has refused to even try out some of this things we call failures now, they will be in a far bigger mess than they are now. In business you always have to think of the future, no one can predict the future 100%. Apple stocks for example have fallen $5 just this morning, no one could have predicted that just last year.

ASP.NET MVC with razor view engine, Jquery and mustache on the client side, and Entity framework(Code first preferably), and then Unity for DI

I agree,you know nothing about .Net or Java. i think you should leave the level of helloworld Google will buy Microsoft? in ya greatest dream.

But if we write code like that we are gonna end up wasting proccesors, so of course option1 is true.

Working code has to be reusable too,if not 6 months later
