Ask HN: Should I learn ASP.net?
Do a lot of companies still use ASP.net? I have a chance to learn it if I dont get an internship. I'm wondering if its worth my time to learn to use in the future.
If you like corporate culture, once you've acquired a moderate level of expertise in .NET, finding a job should not be too difficult — depending of where you live of course.
I agree about the autocode... I wonder about the repercussions on development in general. It is like sampling in music or those libraries that come with Reason...some use it to make original and compelling work, but that is the edge case, not the norm...
Not sure if it's worth learning on your own, but if you get hired to do it, a lot of the skills are applicable elsewhere, if not the knowledge of the libraries.
I'd have no problem hiring someone proficient in .NET for a java job, and vice versa, presuming they were smart and hard working.
