We were all looking forward to the various events that would take place during that week. Microsoft, with Bill Gates himself in attendance, was soon to launch Windows XP, their newest Windows version. Although this was going to be great, it was really just icing on the cake. What we really came to the PDC for was to hear about .NET (and, of course, to go home with the latest versions of various software titles). I was captivated during the general sessions as several Microsoft knowledge holders spoke rather eloquently about how the development world was changing and how we as developers were in the driver's seat. This all sounded extremely comforting. One Microsoft speaker after another presented and demonstrated some of the newest features of the .NET Framework. Each feature mentioned received loud applause and unanimous cheers. This was a pep rally to end all pep rallies. It really felt good. Until. . . One particular Microsoft speaker (who will remain nameless) proudly announced the .NET Framework feature the .NET common language runtime (CLR), which allows developers to potentially develop Windows and Web programs in practically any language.[2] He mentioned Visual Basic .NET and the crowd cheered. He mentioned the new language C# and again the crowd cheered. Then it happened. The speaker mentioned (with emphasis) that you would even be able to code in COBOL! Yes, the standing-room-only crowd reacted. However, there were no cheers, no applause, and no ovations. Rather, the crowd booed, heckled, and laughed—loudly and continuously. Ouch! I slouched in my seat and pretended to join in. 2012-06-07T02:02:22Z 2012-06-07T02:02:22Z 2003 Book 1590590481 https://scholar.dlu.edu.vn/thuvienso/handle/DLU123456789/30924 en application/chm Apress |
