“Hi Chris Michael,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on learning/doing desktop apps compared to say web apps. Where do you see the shift or direction in programming going? Do you see more options for website/internet programming (Ruby,Perl, ASP, Javascript etc. ) or is it better to learn a system “desktop application” type language such as (Python, C#, Java etc.)
Is Desktop applications still a worthwhile cause?
Thank you for the tips and knowledge.
