I typically deal with C++, but lately I've been using dotNET more and more.. pleasantly surprised by its performance and feature set, and can get things up and running in an absurdly short amount of time. Bouncing between C# and VB.NET, not sure which I like more yet.. leaning towards VB.NET to be honest though, it's actually a rather powerful language now.

Used to use Delphi a lot, but it's just been going downhill for me lately to the point where I can't stand Embarcadero anymore.. their biggest concern now is just shoveling out a new "upgrade" every year and copy protection.. they just don't seem to care about fixing any of the bugs anymore, and some have been carried over for years.

Currently I'm stuck with VB.NET (1.1, 2.0 and 3.5) at work doing ASP.NET. Obviously this comes with JavaScript and SQL (MS SQL Server and IBM Informix) as well.

Preferably, I most enjoy C#, C++ and Python though. They're my favourite languages. Keen to get learning F# too if I get chance, since I'm looking to steer away from OOP just to broaden my skillset and not become too OOP dependent. Quite interested in looking at Go too, although I haven't looked at it properly yet.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • 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.
    • 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!
