Hello all. Very interesting comments and
suggestions.
I hope my question does not seems too off
topic. Do you think the path to
follow for developing applications for the
new PDA, Smartphones, Ipaq and
similar devices it is the same? C or C++? I
have some friends that said it
is the only way but I am not sure of that.
Any experiences or comments.?
With the kind of hardware that can be put into
a device like that these days,
it's hard to tell, but I tend to see C/C++.
Occasionally I see Java, sometimes
Python.
There is no rule for this, you simply use the
right tool for the job.
Am I the only one that has noticed that virtually
everything written in Java sucks? I don't
understand why its used. Is having a program that
sucks on multiple platforms really an advantage
over having a program that is good on 1 or 2
platforms? I really don't get it.
You should read Joel Spotsky's diatribe against "Java Schools", where
many colleges are stooping to teaching in Java, leaving most students
woefully unprepared for the real world, and making it hard for someone
to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to hiring:
