    What's faster, more reliable and, most of all, more secure?
    Oh FFS!

    So, a bytecode interpreter is faster than native code...

    Hmmmmm, not one of Threaded's students are you?

    There are those that know .NET and there are those....
    ...that can write their own code using STL and MFC?

      Oh dear Spod. MFC went out with the Ark.

      <toot-toot> old chap.

      By the way JobServe C# contracts 451, MFC 32. Says it all really. :hat

        Not sure if the original question has already been answered satisfactorily; apologies if it has.
        .Net is a framework that uses a CIL to compile a number of supported languages so that applications don’t have to be re-coded in another language. It offers interoperability between languages.

        J2EE is better than .Net – so boo sucks to Bill’s bitches

          No No No.

          You've all got it wrong. How long are you going to follow the latest flavour of the month technology, only to have to retrain when something better comes along?

          Far better to stay with a good legacy technology that will alllow you keep a stable income rolling in over a career lifetime.

          Sheesh! The youth of today - no common sense at all

            A worthy attitude but a rather boring one.

            I have to learn new things otherwise I become bored, irritable and rather unpleasant in a very short timeframe.

              What is dot net?

              It's a living, no more really. In two years time it all changes again anyway, with XAML etc.

              As a suffix (*.Net) it's a pretty confusing and counter-intuitive name that the MS marketing bods dreamt up. They've admitted the name was a bit of a mistake all in all.

              I prefer it as a prefix.

                Once again I have to say, WS1, you are a kindred spirit. In some respects anyhow. It doesn't work with cats though, the best way is to tangle their claws in the eiderdown.

                  Most versions of Windows won't allow a file to be renamed in Explorer to start with a dot.

                  I guess New Labour don't have a monopoly on non-joined up thinking.

                    What if they suffer rigor mortis though? You might have some explaining to do at the A&E. :lol
