With all the uproar about windows 8, html5 and javascript etc etc do you find that your looking or looking hard at other languages etc.

I've been a Ms Developer for about 15 years now and from VB to c#. Before that as a 13 year old teaching myself z80 then going on to 6502 and then 68000 finally onto C and C++. But now i feel like until Build I'm not that intrested in MS technologies. I must admit its been fun , exciting and scary looking else where and a programming world without c# scares the living daylights out of me. Dont get me wrong I've never ingored the the rest of the Programming world, I've always got an eye out for other stuff.

so what have you looked at or looked at harder since "The Shift" ?

mine are

1. Leaning javascript properly (still yuk!) not becuase of MS but the day job is web dev.

2. Ruby, something I've always told myself i didnt have the time for.

3. Node.js, I was just curious.

cheers

Johnny

Yes i love Wpf and Silverlight and i understand there’s going to be many platforms but why HTML and JavaScript? surely MS and Google and Mozilla etc could of come up with something from this century?

Why is it lowest common denominator wins?

Windows Phone 7 as far as i can see is the best looking platform and thought-out platform out there, but will that be enough. I ‘m afraid its got a big uphill struggle just from the point of how established the iphone and android are. Just ask my daughter
what phone she wants and is prepared to spend her hard earned £480 on. It isn’t the Windows Phone 7!

I think Microsoft need to

1.       Get a better marketing department. They really do have the world’s worst marketing department don’t they!

2.       Give a phone to whoever wants one. I know there pockets are only so deep. But they need to get the phone in people’s hands and I mean a lot of people. Maybe A “trade you old phone for a windows Mobile 7” campaign.

Don’t get me wrong i really want to develop for this phone. And I probably will. But I can only go so far without the hardware. Am i prepared to spend money on a phone? If there’re a couple of hundred pounds then maybe but anything over that not until I
can see a return in my investment. (My daughter has more disposable income than I do and she’s only 15) I also sent an email and never heard anything, but at this stage I don’t think Microsoft can be to choosy.

Just my 2c worth

Johnny
