I have been doing web development for 4 years(5 from college). I
consider web development, even with the best of the best tools a painful
excercise. I am comparing this to GUI or CLI development. There are so
many components, databases, caching, middleware component, clustering,
the interface, interoperabilit y.
You have to build webflow, work with possibly hundreds of pages, on and
on, web servers.
Anybody agree? Or am I just a lazy, bored man?
If somebody can make a tool to make all this seamless, they will take
over the world.

Why, most of these components are present in local applications as
well,
except they are less obvious, i.e. you don't have to think about them
as
such. But they *are* there and you *must* handle them anyway.

I though you were supposed to be lazy, as a programmer :-)
If somebody can make a tool to make all this seamless, they will take
over the world.
Correct me if I'm wrong: servlets supposedly do that, and they hadn't
taken over the world last time I checked. Are you looking for miracle
solutions by any chance? Because there aren't any, you know.
Cheers,
Felix

On a lot of projects, on the web and off the web, the interface is
designed by someone other than the person doing the programming. It
would have to be a very small project for one person to do all of that.
If you are doing web development where the programmer has to worry
about how things look on screen, thenn you haven't done a very good job
of separating the content from the formatting of that content. lk******@geocit ies.com wrote: If you are doing web development where the programmer has to worry

You may not have to worry about how things look on screen,
but you do have to know what fields must go on each form
and how state is maintained between the interface and logic
layers. In other words, the UI may be technically separated
from the logic, but they are semantically connected anyway.
The man is right, you have plenty of things to worry about.
As for application size, let me ask you a question: how about
application complexity? And don't tell me they are related :D

Hi,
I'm getting this message ever since I applied W2KSP4 on my server (which is

OK with all the points mentioned.
Per KB 821255 I have also added my "domainname\ASPNET" account to the

Apols for the post here, but there is no public.inetserver.cassini
Is there a way to configure the cassini / ASP NET Development web

1) So that the port can be pegged (seems to be random)?
2) So that can access the server using hostname other than localhost?
I need to test some client side SOAP calls

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
