Ok, a few considerations on new tech and people pushing it. 1. Is it going to make your company perform better? 2. Is it going to make for better suited software? 3. Is it radically going to change how the company does its business? 4. Is the cost of development, training, hardware, implementation too big for the company to absorb? 5. Is the new tech reliable to deliver on the promises of said technology? 6. A cloud melts during the storm and leaves a mess behind... and it does not belong to you, you don't get to decide how or when that will happen.
Let it sync in... My perspective: A lot of new tech are being created more for obsolescence purpose than to improve technology.New languages do not gain a lot of ground on merit alone. It's usually pushed by a series of factors. Merit has little to do with it.So don't feel bad if you don't know the new acronyms. If you decide to recycle your knowledge, then you'll find out what those are.Just one suggestion, though. Look for something that is independent of Microsoft. That can run on Windows, but it can't be killed when MS decide it's time to make developers pain again for the same old crap under a new and improved marketing fueled brand new name, such as Visual Studio 10^3 - you still need hundreds of addons to do the same thing VFP did 10 years ago by itself. That was verbose...
