I would not lose sleep over this issue. People have been predicting the death of desktop applications for the last 10 years. We're still waiting.Like all things there is room for both. Web applications have certain advantages - ease of deployment, no OS restrictions etc. Desktop applications have theirs too -- offline use, integration with hardware, leveraging of local resources, etc.I don't think it's a question of focusing more. I think any good developer should pick up skills on both frontsOn Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM, aki <aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:
@Murigi, for some people like me who are studying C #.net and probably a hobbyist for another 2-4 years, can you please clarify why should one focus more on asp.net ( web applications ) rather than windows forms applications.I personally see the web as something that is harmful to programming as it is very limiting but I may be mistaken. Is the web going to merge with desktop anytime soon?Will contact you offlist on the above, but I've listed my questions incase others are also thinking along the same lines....Cheers.
