- copperx 11y agoYou must be joking. Developing GUI apps is MUCH simpler than developing a backend with responsive HTML5/Javascript frontend.
- easytiger 11y ago> HTML5/Javascript That's GUI development too
- cwyers 11y ago...why would you assume that? Are there enough server-side games that are Windows-specific for him to make that caveat if he meant server side development?
- easytiger 11y ago> > But the bigger question is WTF are you doing developing on Windows (unless they're games). Are you saying the only software is games?
- cwyers 11y agoNo. I'm saying almost the opposite, that there's a LOT of software that isn't games, and some of it is client-side and some of it is server-side, and since he's explicitly excluding one and only one kind of client-side development, the most reasonable assumption is it's because he means to include all the other kinds of client-side development.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> I assume he means on the server side. Lots of enterprises are Windows shops. If you want to sell to those enterprises, you develop on Windows.
- easytiger 11y agoWhat does that have to do with it?
- dragontamer 11y agoStackOverflow is a well known big-example of a full server-side Microsoft-stack.
