Penetration of ASP.NET - Developers continue to use VB6 & ASP

Joel Spolsky's new article "How Microsoft Lost the API War" at
http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/APIWar.html
describes how .NET has failed, how classic VB6 and ASP continue to be
preferred by developers, and how Microsoft has lost control of the
preferred API.

You really should read the article. Here are some excerpts:

<Joel Spolsky>
"And yet, people aren't really using .NET much.
Oh sure, some of them are..."

"instead of .NET unifying and simplifying, we have a big 6-way mess,
with everybody trying to figure out which development strategy to use
and whether they can afford to port their existing applications to
..NET.

"No matter how consistent Microsoft is in their marketing message
('just use .NET—trust us!'), most of their customers are still using
C, C++, Visual Basic 6.0, and classic ASP, not to mention all the
other development tools from other companies. And the ones that are
using .NET are using ASP.NET to develop web applications, which run on
a Windows server but don't require Windows clients, which is a key
point I'll talk about more when I talk about the web."

"if you're developing a Windows GUI app today using Microsoft's
'official' latest-and-greatest Windows programming environment,
WinForms, you're going to have to start over again in two years to
support Longhorn and Avalon. Which explains why WinForms is completely
stillborn. Hope you haven't invested too much in it. Jon Udell found a
slide from Microsoft labelled 'How Do I Pick Between Windows Forms and
Avalon?' and asks, 'Why do I have to pick between Windows Forms and
Avalon?' A good question, and one to which he finds no great answer."

"So you've got the Windows API, you've got VB, and now you've got
..NET, in several language flavors, and don't get too attached to any
of that, because we're making Avalon, you see, which will only run on
the newest Microsoft operating system, which nobody will have for a
loooong time. And personally I still haven't had time to learn .NET
very deeply, and we haven't ported Fog Creek's two applications from
classic ASP and Visual Basic 6.0 to .NET because there's no return on
investment for us. None. It's just Fire and Motion as far as I'm
concerned..."

"the Web user interface is about 80% there, and even without new web
browsers we can probably get 95% there. This is Good Enough for most
people and it's certainly good enough for developers, who have voted
to develop almost every significant new application as a web
application.

Which means, suddenly, Microsoft's API doesn't matter so much. Web
applications don't require Windows.

It's not that Microsoft didn't notice this was happening. Of course
they did, and when the implications became clear, they slammed on the
brakes. Promising new technologies like HTAs and DHTML were stopped in
their tracks. The Internet Explorer team seems to have disappeared;
they have been completely missing in action for several years. There's
no way Microsoft is going to allow DHTML to get any better than it
already is: it's just too dangerous to their core business, the rich
client. The big meme at Microsoft these days is: 'Microsoft is betting
the company on the rich client.'"

"Much as I hate to say it, a huge chunk of developers have long since
moved to the web and refuse to move back. Most .NET developers are
ASP.NET developers, developing for Microsoft's web server...None of
this bodes well for Microsoft and the profits it enjoyed thanks to its
API power. The new API is HTML, and the new winners in the application
development marketplace will be the people who can make HTML sing.
</Joel Spolsky>

The only sentence in the article that I disagree with is:
JS> "ASP.NET is brilliant; I've been working with web
JS> development for ten years and it's really just a
JS> generation ahead of everything out there."

Whereas in my eyes ASP.NET is not a "generation ahead", but merely a
Microsoft rewrite of some well-known Perl modules available years ago
that:
- use templates to generate dynamic web pages and
- encrypt form data.

Opinions are like a**holes. Not only does everybody have one, but almost all
of them stink.
An opinion is a poor substitute for a fact.
In the absence of facts, avoid holding onto opinions. It might prevent you
from finding the facts later.

I have to question what Joel really knows about .NET.

How do you do this in Classic ASP?
<%
If myCheckbox.Chec ked = True then
myTableRow.Visi ble = False
myCustomValidat or.Enabled = False
End If
%>
One way:
<%
IF myCheckboxCheck ed = TRUE THEN
myTableRowVisib le = FALSE
myCustomValidat orEnabled = FALSE
END IF
%>
Hey, you already know the details!
To do this you write a whole bunch of routine or classes yourself but you
still need to have various bits of ASP (at least placeholders) intespersed
in the HTML itself. ASP.NET gets away from all that by giving you an OO and
event-driven programming paradigm, something you don't get with Classic ASP


And something that you don't really need. You .NET OOPers aren't yet
fully aware of Microsoft's latest moves. I'm not the only one who
thinks you don't need OOP (and event-driven architectures).
Microsoft's Don Box discusses how OOP is no longer useful at
http://news.com.com/2100-1046_3-5148148.html :
"Moving developers away from the object-oriented world is a key
element of Microsoft's battle for mindshare with the likes of IBM, Sun
Microsystems, BEA Systems, Oracle and other rivals..."

According to Mr. Box:
"The ability for programs to communicate is a core tenet for the way
we want Longhorn to work," said Box. But, he said, object-oriented
programming is just not all it was made out to be. "What promised in
the '90s to be the most promising technology turned out not to be. By
the 1990s, no one disputed that we could make objects work as an
industry, but we got carried away with the metaphor. We naively said,
'This notion of objects that seems to pan out so well when writing
programs...shou ld work for communications between programs.'"
Read the article and weep for OOP.
..NET is little more than a set of templates combined with several
unnecessarily burdensome new OOP-oriented languages. The consistency
of these languages, manifest in the CLR, is of the sort characterized
by Ralph Waldo Emerson in his famous statement:
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by
little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

Microsoft has many "little minds." They need to learn to think outside
the Box.

There are plenty of people (like yourself) that like to knock .NET, and
there are plenty of these people on the internet.So references per se are
not a good measure of credibility.

Microsoft employs a lot of very intelligent people, who are working both to
ensure that Microsoft stays at the top of the heap -and- that it keeps its
developers onside (because that's what makes the Microsoft platforms a
compelling choice for business).

So, who's more credible - Spolsky, who has a chip on his shoulder about
..NET? or Microsoft, which is a company that's been a proven winner?

I mean, Spolsky writes stuff like this:

<quote>
And personally I still haven't had time to learn .NET very deeply, and we
haven't ported Fog Creek's two applications from classic ASP and Visual
Basic 6.0 to .NET because there's no return on investment for us. None
</quote>

By his own admission, he knows very little about 'Net. And ROI is not just
about signing new customers - it's also about reducing costs - manageability
and supportability costs. I'm sure Spolsky knows this, but is just being
disingenuous by leaving it out.

He writes stuff like:
<quote>
And here's the clincher: I noticed (and confirmed this with a recruiter
friend) that Windows API programmers here in New York City who know C++ and
COM programming earn about $130,000 a year, while typical Web programmers
using managed code languages (Java, PHP, Perl, even ASP.NET) earn about
$80,000 a year. That's a huge difference, and when I talked to some friends
from Microsoft Consulting Services about this they admitted that Microsoft
had lost a whole generation of developers. The reason it takes $130,000 to
hire someone with COM experience is because nobody bothered learning COM
programming in the last eight years or so, so you have to find somebody
really senior, usually they're already in management, and convince them to
take a job as a grunt programmer, dealing with (God help me) marshalling and
monikers and apartment threading and aggregates and tearoffs and a million
other things that
</quote>

The reason it costs more to hire people like this is because the
applications that *require* this expertise are non-trivial. I can write COM
components without too much trouble. I know a little about threading and
marshalling, but that doesn't mean I can write something that'll work well
in a huge enterprise environment. ON the other hand, the average web
developer doesn't need to work in that environment. There are plenty of web
apps that don't require that expertise. I'm sure Spolsky knows that too, but
he just doesn't bother to mention it. He's choosing to "colour" his story
with the things that support his opinion, leaving out things that everyone
else knows, but which don't support his opinion.

Cheers

You know what that is? That's Spolsky's butt with your lip prints tattooed
on it.
I doubt I'll hear more dribble this year, unless you keep talking except
when the Demon-crats have their convention.

There are 3 types of people in the world...
.... those that make things happen
.... those that watch things happen
.... those that wonder what happened.

Guess that makes you the wonderer. What is your goal here? Do you really
expect everyone to ooh and ahh and agree with your mindless rantings? Since
when did Spolsky become the voice for development and when did you become
his campaign manager? Is there really a point here or are you as bored with
your life as we are with your posts?
