Re: ASP.NET: Fundementally Flawed Architecture

They are all good ones, however not funny.

I find it funny...what can I say.

Let me restate:

-The whole web browser application philosophy is crap.

I have to download stuff to an application that translates it then shows
it on the screen and has it's own menus that don't apply to the
application I've written. I can click the back and forward buttons that
may disrupt the state of the app. That's great stuff!

I don't even know where to start on this one except to say "scoreboard".
There are legitimate reasons why applications delivered via the web browser
makes sense across the board. They've been so thoroughly documented and
discussed there's no point in discussing them now...it's 2006.

Certainly there are legitimate reasons not to as well, but IMO it has
nothing to do with the philosophy being "crap".

-People just seem to fall for any new horse*** that comes along.

Happens again and again. After 30 years of computing you would think
major projects would not be failing everyday. Every few years people
switch to something new that does the same things that have been done
for years, but they have to uncover a whole bunch of new and different
bugs in it. Some more great stuff.

That's because projects rarely fail because of the technology alone. Where
"people" migrate technologically is subject to market and marketing forces
just like anything else. It's a human nature thing that isn't going to
change. Everything cycles and changes and evolves...that's life.

-Thinking on a higher level and not getting caught up in the newest fad
will get you where you need to be.

Stop letting yourself get caught up in the latest gadget that doesn't
work right and stick with what works. Only go new if it provides
something you don't already have. How many times do we need the
libraries for saving data and showing it on a computer screen rewritten
in a new language using a new interpreter?

Who is "you"?

I can't help but find humor that a developer believes that web based
applications and the internet is a fad...in 2006. *shrug*
