Hi,
All who those into development or any other related to MS Technologies.
Can we have a discussion please, share your experience.
I started my career as ASP programmer, then directly moved into VB 6.0, enjoyed developing exe's.
But when VS 2003 launched, i was mostly into web site developments.
I rarely worked on widows projects, but never avoided.
For my learning purposes still develop exe's.
Now a stage came, am more like a web application developer (dont know such a word exists :-))
but also knows windows application.
But, most of the companies needs people who can work on both.
But why? whats the big deal?
There a huge lists of MS Technologies available.
I read somewhere MS concentrating more into sharepoint related technologies,
which more into website developements.
So why cant we choose our taste.
A Web Application Developer, asp.net, WCF, WF, sharepoint.. etc.
A Windows Application Developer, WPF, WCF, WF.. etc.
Most of the new comers or experienced persons still in struggle to choose which path to select for a good career.

I would like to say my views about this.
I would perfer to go ahead with web application because "The changes are the only constant" in IT industry, if we dont adopt to the changes that is happening here we would not be noticed, or we would be odd man out or even it would be difficult for us to get noticed most of the times.
Some times the changes and updation would be pleasureful some times painfull too Since we wouldnt have updated .net1.1 but we are forced to know rest of the versions of the same technology.
So for are its always have keep updated with the latest be it web or windows....

Either you will become a Team Lead Or an Architect Or an Technical Designer. In that stage, you should know where to use which technology. You should know the technology at the higher level and not at the lowere level.
At the sametime, you cant say with 5+ year of experience I cant code like that. You should be capable of writing code at any stage.
In many companies, still managers, Architect has the habit of writing code. Its their own decision and interest to make your career path.
