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.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
