Agree on the desktop. The peak of development was when Windows, Visual Studio and .Net framework releases were synchronised and we were targeting Windows Forms. That was almost bliss. I got so much work done.
That started in 2002 and ended in about 2010.
I built some stuff in C# on Windows CE as well which was interesting too.
- smackeyacky 5y agoCE development must have been interesting. Not sure I ever saw a CE device that had enough room left over for another program. Back when I switched to .NET the future looked like web apps. Can't say I am particularly prescient but of all the tech in .NET, the web stuff thankfully had the longest legs so I'm kinda glad I avoided the slow death spiral of MS's ever changing desktop moods.
- hughrr 5y agoIt was roughly on par with iOS development now strangely enough. But with a light weight windows forms abstraction. We did unholy things on CE which were quite impressive.
