i read SICP, learned haskell, and have now realized that in order to get a real job i need to learn some windows programming. nobody will hire you just because you understand loeb.
That way you wouldn't have to write a GUI and wouldn't have to document it (but if you do make sure to do a shitty job of it), just like all Linux programs.
Then, other people can write tutorials about how to accomplish the most common tasks of your app. Because wirting instructions in English is way easier than writiing them in a programming lnaguage.
>>21 can't fathom c# or java ever being used in a corporate situation. i've got one disadvantage for you, the instant source-accurate decompilation

most of europe, and especially sweeden hires you for knowing .net or java

Code can be easily obfuscated to deter those sorts of attacks. Besides, your point is moot since native applications can be disassembled and reverse engineered, and yet See/Sepples are still widely used. There are some utilities, such as Hex-Rays for IDA [1], which are somewhat able to decompile native code into See source.

You'd be surprised. I write Scalable Enterprise Solutions in C# for my day-job.

Hex-Rays is a joke.
Yes, I have used it.
It doesn't decompile, it only makes code take a little less space, by changing parts of it from assembler to pseudo-c.
Wow, you are an idiot. Java and .Net make up the bulk of new solutions enterprises are creating. Read a fucking trade mag or website faggot.
Also, you can't decompile .Net assumblies or Java faggotry to something that is 'source accurate'. You wil get a high level language that will compile back to the program, but it won't be the same source code, it can't be.
And in Java's case, bytecode and the VM know shit about generics. So if the code uses generics the decompiled Java code would not include them.
But you go on believing absolute shit based on nothing.

>And in Java's case, bytecode and the VM know shit about generics.
Which is an important reason why Java sucks and .NET is superior.

Just use an obfuscator if you're that concerned.

Kill it with fire! Magazines are part of what's so very wrong with this business. Magazines are shit. Magazines are pig disgusting. Magazines come... straight out of Sun's website.
Except on any worthwhile interview they will ask you what you read regarding programming. Saying SCIP, 4chan, slashdot, digg, reddit etc. will not get you any points.
Read them while you shit. Even while shitting you can become and expert enterprise programmer.

What publications do you recommend? The Enterprise Daily? How to be an Enterprise Weenie?

I have yet to be asked that question (which I would answer with "just look at my blogroll") -- normally interviewers are too busy digging up MSFT interview logic puzzles from last century's styel of interview (like the 3 lamps, 3 switches one) to ask anything sensible.
