Another OT thread :)

Posted by woofcow on 1999-10-19

hey. this time im trying to stay on the subject of programming (like
everybody else in the last two years - read OT as On Topic :)

when i get out of uni im looking at a career in some form of software
developement. im already a reasonable assembly programmer and have just
about got the grasp of djgpp (and, of course, the illustrious qbasic; where
would we all be without it :), but i dont know any windows languages (apart
>from delphi which i dont really count cause i hate it. the code is
ridiculously bulky - cardinal sin #1). i want to get started on visual c,
but i dont know whether to go for borland (or inprise or whatever they are
now) c++ builder of microsoft visual c. does anyone know which is more
commonly used and which would be most beneficial to me in 'the industry' :)

im not bothered about how easy they are to use, just how powerful they are
and how relevant they will be to my future.

cheers,
