What about C#, SQL Server and ASP.NET? Good Lord, these are my bread and butter for the past 3 years ( I spent $6,000 on a 2 1/2 month, 4 hour, M-F class trying to learn them and found employment after that ).

I’m going to kill someone if they do away with this ( figuratively of course ).

As Ann Coulter used to say, “If the Death Penalty does not deter murder, why is Michael Moore still alive and I am not in Jail?”

That’s the trouble with computers - most of what I ever learned has become obsolete. I should have been a barber, or a lumberjack.

Of those, C# and SQL Server should be around quite a while.

But I already see some cracks in what most people consider ASP.NET.

For the last several years, the push was a more visual development experience with ASP.NET Web Forms and Visual Studio, where you could drag and drop ASP.NET controls onto a page, put some code in a code behind and run it. Much improved over classic ASP. It's a pleasure to use to code web apps IMHO.

Now the current fad is ASP.NET MVC (now at version 3) and the Razor engine. They tell me it's better - not sure where I see that it is.

It all looks like it is going back to classic ASP... No visual design, coding HTML by hand with code intermixed. It doesn't even have Intellisense yet!

I've invested almost ZERO time in ASP.NET MVC. I'm still at the point of waiting to see what may stick.

Look what would have happened if I committed to ASP.NET MVC a few years ago... within that time, they've gone from ASP.NET MVC 2 and now ASP.NET MVC 3. Now your ASP.NET MVC 1 code is no good.
