Programming 326

Everyone has opinions and they are a dime a dozen..

I have a MCP for .Net and working on the MCAD for .Net. and if you got it on the resume you can demand more money.

I am working with people from India on a project right now and you can bet they are not getting paid $2 an hour. I am also contracting through a company that's owned by people out of India and you can best believe I am not making $2 and hour either.

What are you talking about? .Net programming although it is Internet centric is not only for Internet applications as one can develop .Net Windows, NT Service which I am doing now, Web Service which Windows desktop applications can consume those services and ASP applications. You can also use .Net to program many devices like ceular phones, bar coding and many other such devices.

I have been programming since 1980 done buttembler C, C++, the whole nine yards and programming when Apple was in a wodden box. I have never been in a God Damn union in companies that where unioned and don't ever want to be any in one either.

If I thought you really knew anything about programming to make money and put food on the table or about .NET you would be dangerious. You are not! The only dangerious part about you is that you don't know waht you're talking about and you need to run your mouth.

.NET and programming jobs in the US are not going anywhere. Legacy application running in companies running on mainframes and client servers are being converted to .Net. New specifications, requirements etc, etc are being written to use .NET companies are moving to .NET and converting applications as they go to .Net.

The bottom line here is that you're not a programmer making a living at it and you don't know what you're talking about.
