Re: .Net or Java ? or am i just delusional
 

there is no more anti MS than me and i would say .net is a good one actually.

Re: .Net or Java ? or am i just delusional
 

for the time being...
but I like java...
(personal pref. of course)

Heavens, no. Web tech is like the result of inbreeding Frankenstein's monster's offspring. It's a mish mash of various poorly integrating techniques, which are inconveniently held together by a plethora of third party, often amateurish libraries. And you're using a dynamically typed interpreted language as glue.

I've marveled at how pleasant QML/QtQuick is compared to web tech - even though QML is a javascript-derived language.

Re: .Net or Java ? or am i just delusional
 

Yeah, there's no comparison between the elegance of QML and the clumsiness of web tech. QML, however, is not JavaScript derived, but QtQuick merely features a pretty fast JavaScript engine.

JavaScript, OTOH, shouldn't be put aside as the web's toy language it once was.
It came a long way, got highly optimized JavaScript engines, and excels as an object-based functional language with lambda expressions, closures (a very powerful concept), and prototypical inheritance. And it is THE language that powers the web 2.0.

Re: .Net or Java ? or am i just delusional
 

Yeah, but it mostly is javascript :p It's not a drawback, it's well-suited to handle the GUI side of things.

Yet you can't use these features most of the time, because of browser support. It has its strengths, but can't compete to Java or C#.

I've no hands-on experience with C++11/14 unfortunately, but from what I've read, it looks nice too these days. Combine it with Qt and QML, and it might prove to be a whole lot more nicer than WPF/XAML, which is also declarative, but is much more convoluted than QML/QtQuick.

Yo wot? ever heard of nodejs?

Re: .Net or Java ? or am i just delusional
 

And still you can't compare those, especially performance!

And just to prove my point - watch this (you can skip the beginning as it's little bit of rails there):

Re: .Net or Java ? or am i just delusional
 

Nowdays nodejs performance is pretty good.
And BTW, did you try the above tricks in node, or in a browser console, and if you did, what version was it...?
Since I just checked and at least v0.12.2 behaves more consistently.

Hi guys, advocates of learning Qt/QML. The problem is not what's the best development platform. Time has shown many times that the best technology doesn't win all the time.

And if we're talking of learning development to make a living. Sorry, but web development can offer much much more jobs opportunities than Qt/QML.

I know about a programming introduction courses of Java. The advantage here is that you'll have a Interactive walkthrough. This is codegym codegym java course
