Since this is about .NET developers supposedly being enraged, I'd guess it's more likely they don't know what HTML5 or JavaScript is -- and perhaps this leads them to assume it's somehow possible to use them as a "complete" application development platform. I don't know, either way I can't believe people are so lacking of reasoning to actually be concerned about this.
I mean even if their worst nightmares came true and this was a sign that .NET is going to get phased out, Jesus Christ, just learn another platform. Carry the .NET experience over to something else, stop cornering your career into a single technology with some delusional idea that it will never become obsolete, and for god's sake stop crying like babies.
- scott_s 15y agoHe doesn't actually mention any .NET developers getting upset in the article itself.
- nxn 15y agoWell, this part: "If you are a Windows developer, I'll bet you did: there was little to no mention of .NET technology in the Windows 8 hoopla, and quite a few Windows developers are more than a little angry about the whole thing." The "more than a little angry" part links to: http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/230502/562113.aspx http://forums.silverlight.net/forums/p/230502/562113.aspx where you actually do see some .NET people raving like lunatics. So I guess I was kind of writing about that in my post.
