Well reading up on it and doing it are two different things.
When you have sat in class 8 hrs a day 5 days a week for four weeks on
the following:
1) Developing WEB based Application using C# .Net
2) Developing Windows Based Application using C# .Net
3) Developing XML WEB Services and Server Components using .Net
4) Other topics like how to use the .Net Framework and other such
features such as security.
In addition to that, you have passed a certification test or two in the
above areas.
And you have done some programming and implementation of the .Net
technology like I have, then I'll consider that you know what you're
talking about.
You don't have a *clue*.
I have parsed the *free* standard version of .NET which M$ was giving
away for going to their site and watching some movies on various topics and
then rating them and you got a free copy. I have also set through sever
MS2D TS2, 5 Hour *also free* seminars which M$ invites OEM's to and they
were wanting to hawk .NET and to get programmers to switch over and such.
I can copy and paste code snippets with the best of them to create my
Hodge podge *functional* programs; but imnsho .NET takes some of the power
out of the programmers hands, which also in my nsho may be a good thing
considering some of the things the scripkiddies are up to now days.
I don't like the implications of how .NET handles the FS commands for
control of .NET from within a flash web page, and such.
But as those here will tell you I am not a programmer in their truest
sense of the word; because instead of *remembering* Subroutines and typing
them in, or remembering other things I need, I instead keep quite a large
library of code snippets from which I can call upon to throw together in
sort of a hodpodged kluged together jig saw type of program; but my program
kluges perform and do what I intended for them to and get the job done I
wanted.
But then what do I know, I am just an over 50 old school computer
enthusiast that started out with pencil and paper flow charts and then the
military gave me a chance to work on main frames and then I got my hands on
my own first real computer a Commodore 64 and I have been enjoying sitting
up to the wee hours or for days on end typing in a program just to see it
come to life and run for a few seconds and hope that I didn't have a power
fluctuations before I got it typed in. Then I got a 1541 disk drive and
then I could take breaks and actually save out a program to run at a later
time, instead of having to retype it in again each time I wanted to show
someone what it would do<BEG>
