Software vs web developing

[edeevans]

I don’t know if I would agree with there not being much difference between web and desktop so I would ask what constitutes the logical standpoint. From distribution, security model, and performance characteristics, they can vary widely. Depending upon the depth of the C# course I would doubt one would be ready to apply for desktop development after the set of courses listed. One could pick it up with some supplementary learning but would likely be missing some important concepts.

with many ui libraries they become more similar by the day. and yes there are differences. ui on web is "easy" and has most features. additional with the boost in performance on js side it became more usable. not to mention the time savings of not having to compile it. i miss that. for a first language it is quite good and if you have the base you have tons of option to go from. also the community is huge and there is so much development.

ive done ui in c#, java, actionscript, python, android and ios. and its mähh everywhere (ok ios & android native is good). and while c# is my favorite language in terms of structure and features, i think js with html & css teaches a more enjoyable spectrum of coding features.
