In a work environment, I don't really mind learning one thing over another (I normally wouldn't touch Java otherwise, for example). I agree that you have to choose the right tool for the job.
My dilemma is more towards choosing a preferred platform. I've been interning for a large enterprise since the beginning of my studies, and would like to try working for or starting a startup eventually. And that's when choosing Microsoft isn't as easy as choosing anything else, even though I would like to.
- btian 12y agoWhy do you need a preferred platform for personal projects that are not serious? Some very successful start-ups rely almost exclusive on Microsoft technologies, like StackExchange.
- lpolovets 12y agoGiven that's your goal, here's an analysis of startup technologies that I did last week: http://codingvc.com/which-technologies-do-startups-use-an-exploration-of-angellist-data http://codingvc.com/which-technologies-do-startups-use-an-ex... TL;DR it seemed like few startups were using Microsoft products. That's not to say that you can't create a successful startup on the MS stack, or that MS products are not good -- just that startups are generally using other tools.
