No I don't, and know why? Here is a quote from a typical job offer which comes out at monster (this one was from uk) when you search for .NET: As a VB Developer, this is an opportunity for you to team up and work alongside some of the top developers around and therefore to be considered for this role, you will need to have at least 2 years solid Visual Basic experience and a good understanding of the development of ActiveX components, COM and .Net. Those who have and experience of the financial market or have Real time software development then that will be beneficial with your application. Salary 45K pounds in london... That's like 20K euro in germany or 30K USD in US. Sorry, this is not my kind of job :-) > You see you are missing the whole point here..... I have been a long time believer that J2EE is good for big honking things. But > .NET is eating up the small business sectors. I am talking about small to medium sized apps here. large sites also use .NET such as > www.dell.com and I believe there are a lot more out there.... I am too lazy to google it right now.. I believe you could find them > yourself... I think the larger problem for a java developer in a small business sector is PHP or even Perl. .NET is mostly irrelevant, at least in germany. But know what, it was dumb from me, to get on this discussion. I admit my defeat, you won, all praise .NET. :-) Leon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
