The topic under discussion here was client-side code, and for that I maintain that while .NET may be a technically superior solution to Java it is not yet sufficiently widely deployed to be recommendable for internet applications (intranets are another matter - you control your intranet and so can ensure that the CLI runtime is installed wherever you need it). I have less experience when it comes to server side apps and can't really compare ASP.NET with other solutions. The only server-side programming I've done has been in (unmanaged) C++ or using a dedicated Java servlet engine. If I were setting up a general webserver today I'd almost certainly use Apache on linux, but YMMV. Cheers, Daniel. Sure wish there was a way to remove groups from a list of groups that was
incorrectly assembled. This thread's like a virus. It just goes and goes and goes... too bad that *.vb.* groups couldn't care less about "Dotnet versus Java-Applets". How about changing the subject line, removing the *.vb.* groups and restarting it in a .Net newsgroup?

Well, being neither a VB user nor a proponent of active content neither do I, but I don't see that that's any reason to censor the thread. > How about changing the subject line, removing the *.vb.* groups and How about leaving it alone, because as much as you may dislike having to > restarting it in a .Net newsgroup? ignore it in whichever group(s) you're reading there will be other people who will have learned from it and be glad they read it there. Yes, I agree the thread was overposted, but IME it does more harm than good to try to correct that. It's locking the stable door after the horse has bolted. Had you had a worthwhile contribution to make to the discussion, you would have been within your rights to drop some groups from the list ... but adding an off-topic posting to the thread in all the groups *just* to complain about the only marginally on-topic nature of the thread in your favourite group is counterproductive in the extreme. The thread had all but died anyway, you've just started it up again by whingeing. Cheers, Daniel.  |
