I think the Academic edition has the capabilities of the Professional edition.( Same box color ) So, you won't be getting the features in Enterprise Developer/Architect. Those editions can include SQL Server, Visio, Commerce Server, Biztalk, Windows Advanced Server 2000, and Windows Enterprise Server 2003 plus some other tools. Technically speaking, there isn't any difference language-wise or feature-wise. The framework opens up the platform to any edition. The editions differentiate with the tools available to the developer, that's all.

Of course, the Academic edition comes with the licensing restriction of no commercial development.

Good good, I don't really need the Server stuff in Enterprise edition. As long as I can code, compile, make an executable file, etc it's all good. Hehe, don't think my stuff'll be good enough to sell anyways :laugh:

So you can't make a program and sell it with the academic edition legally? :o

one question i really want the answer to is what programming language is the future of programming for windows... and mac... ;)

Who knows? I think that for windows, the language used will become irrelevant, but the platform will be mostly .Net. Mac, I don't know, objective C is what's used now, isn't it?

That will probably change in 5-10 years, too. Someone may invent a language/development methodology that we can't even conceive of yet. Hell, it may be one of you that does it! :)

I"m really surprised at this. Are you people in school using this? Or actually in the workplace? C++ is nothing short of rare in the workplace.

Err... no it isn't. C++ is one of the most widely used languages in the world. There's a HUGE amount of work using C++ so I don't know where you get that idea from!?!?!?

In my work I'm largely using C/C++/Java. I stay current on .NET (specifically using C#) and I've used over a dozen other languages (including several flavours of BASIC, assembly, Fortran, Forth, Pascal, etc.)

C++ isn't going anywhere and neither is C - they both have strong footholds in certain markets where VM-based machines are not going for a while yet - true real-time, mission-critical computing or in embedded systems. There are VMs available for these kinds of applications but they are bit-players at the moment.

For systems level programming on Windows, C and C++ are going to be king for a long time to come.

For applications level programming on Windows I think you're going to see C# begin to take over though C++ is still going to be high on the list.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      I totally disagree. Very little good comes out of governments all around the world manipulating everything they can and usually the people are not the benefactors. What you say about being restricted and expensive sounds almost like the arguments against firearms and why banning them will protect people as if making something illegal somehow will prevent the criminals from having and using them. AI being far less mainstream could simply mean the average person will not benefit, but "big brother" and the corporations will benefit, which is almost for sure NOT a good thing.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By RejZoR · Posted

      "connect with audiences" is the most obvious corporate speak you can think of. I only bought Need for Speed from EA because it was the only racing game with cops in existence and I dig that. Now that they killed off NFS franchise, I have nothing to spend money on. EA is officially dead for me, just like Ubisoft which I've been boycotting for some 20 years now...
