Here's food for thought. We had a workflow application that ran as a Java servlet. Basically it moves notices around to user work queues. It took about 4 weeks to implement in Java (that's post requirements and specifications). Now I took that application and migrated it to C++ in 2 days.
Now if I was to sit here and insinuate that supports a theory that C++ development is 10+ times more productive than Java, you'd be well advised to consider me an idiot.
That Dominic feels free to make those assertions concerning ASP vs. Java ... well you get the idea.
Let's see -- you were wrong about the OO reporting stuff, so now you'll try and insult me in other ways.
Oooookay.
Whatever floats your boat.
For the record, the related dev times of ASP, ASP.NET, C# and Java has been the topic of many articles, discussions and experiments. If you disagree, it'd be fantastic to hear your opinions and experiences.
If you're only here to flame and insult me for not being an MS cheerleader, well then, let's just say I appreciate the attention!
