[ale] OT: Job Market in Savannah (and other coastalcommunities)...

[Mazukna, Thomas]

You think wrong. Delta is not big on MS.. its pro java.
Althoug some groups are looking into replacing Visual C with C#.

I think .NOT is not big here in Atlanta.  I am a MS developer w/ some .net
experience and it ain't working.  I am not seeing any massive movement at
all - and what I have worked on is primarily the old 6 stuff - VB 6, ASP
etc... Apparently (and I read some stuff in a IT magazine a while back)
.NET's success is primarily on MS's own websites!  Yeah, the biggest user is
MS !  Since it involves a re-write of the code, not too many folks are
willing to re-write their apps to do Bill's bidding, not to mention the
increased hardware requirements.  However I have seen a few companies (2) in
the past year go to it.  I think Delta (?) is MS's big PR .NET poster child,
but I know that Delta is big on Java, from what I know from last year, so
who knows, what with MS fud and all.  Besides, .NET's big thing - C# - is
just re-worked Java.  Apparently put out to get Java programmers to rush to
use MS, but not to be confused with J++, or the one or 2 other MS
Java-look-alikes. What crap for a bs system that provides no real new value
and is just another way for MS to show utter contempt for their programmers.
This is the result of marketing running a firm and what made me look at
Linux several years ago.

ok, now for how I really feel .....
