Linux or Microsoft

[Muslim19]

According to events happening in the computing industry, all eyes are on .NET.

.NET beign a platform for the programmers is causing a lot of excitement and has given birth to emulators.

Excitement in programmers for they are waiting and reluctant to switch to other OS platforms. Emulators for the beauty and elegant of languages as result of given birth to .Net, especially C#. Mono is Lnux equivalent to C#.

The issue at hand is that it is wise to stick to Windows as a Programmer.

Respected brother and sisters in Islam

.NET - It was hacked by a "Young Girl" which tells you alot about it


Hasbunallah Ameen

Wallahu 'Alam

Wasalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakahtahu

Meaning?

Interested to know more.

......i will quote the ameer of microsoft insha'allah

"If you can't make it good, make it LOOK good." - Bill Gates.

.NET may have its benefits but it also has its flaws, as long as you have programmers you will have errors.

Their is another saying which is:
"To Make Microsoft Work Better, Throw It Harder"



Ma sha Allahu, for the kind respond.

Linux seems to be everyone' choice?

NET Platform

Today software technology has come a long way from what anyone might have imagined 5 years back. Internet has been able to connect to people all around the world helping them to communicate and work together despite the geographical boundaries. Today everyone's talking about convergence, e-commerce and other such terms which have evolved with the evolution on the Internet. Benefits of Internet is well known to you all as consumers, but the hardships faced by the programmers who have to program for such diverse environment is known to few.

The enterprise setup's today need to have n-tire architecture with diverse platforms and object models communicating with each other. The size of applications has also multiplied and developers need to develop applications which can be accessed from any platform (like Windows, Linux, Mac , Unix etc) and which consist of components written in many programming languages and object models.

For people who are developing such applications its a Hell out there! Since most of the programming languages used today have been written 5 to 10 years back, when the language vendors did not know the problems that would be faced by the current situation. Many language vendors have tried to upgrade their languages, but there is a limit to which they have been successful since they have to maintain backward capability and face many other problems too.

Due to this new Object - Oriented languages like Java have been a obvious choice of many developers since it has edge over the previous languages. Microsoft has recognized this, and is aware that there is a need for a new Microsoft technology which will help developers spend more time actually developing huge applications rather than sit debugging it!

To solve the woe's of the current programmers Microsoft has come with a very promising solution. The .NET Platform.
.NET, is a platform; by this I mean its sort of a runtime environment but much more bigger (in size too :) ) on which applications coded in any of the managed languages run. The .NET runtime environment acts as software layer between the applications written on the .NET and the operating system (or hardware). This is what actually gives programs written on .NET, Java like functionality of write once and execute anywhere subject to the fact that you have the .NET runtime system installed for your platform and CPU.

As I said .NET acts software abstraction between your .NET Programs ( Managed Code ) and the hardware, to run Managed Code the .NET runtime has a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler which JIT's the Managed code into Native code at runtime. Remember that .NET Platform always compiles the code unlike Java which interprets the code during runtime.

Also the .NET platform supports a variety of languages like C#, VB.NET , Managed C++ which are being developed by Microsoft, 22 other languages like Perl, Python, COBOL etc are also coming up with their compilers for the .NET platform.

As you can see the importance of .NET and languages like C# to programmers, it is becoming harder to choose, especially in countries like Nigeria.
Looking for one final solution to programming headace.

thanks for the input

Lindows haha, which is better the orginal or the copy?

I have XP, it has taken over my computer. But it looks nice!
