----------------------------------------------------------- From: spark Message 5 in Discussion well its not just microsoft's wishes anil, see they do put i lots of effort into writing code and applications thanks to which someone walking into office saying ' i dont know anything' is a week later being a productive member of a team developing industrial strength n-tier distributed applications. 5 years back you's have to be a bloody good self tught guru to be able to do that right ? so hats off to them for their effort. coming to your need, they have been good enough to give us the actual framework for free, you can do just about everything if you are creative enough. i have been running framework sdk on my home machine for a long time. generally beta's arent given free, they are charged for for a small token cost-of-media price. i believe there is dearth of beta cds available. when you think about it many other platforms and development environments actually only give you the equivalent of the core tools and vanilla ides for free. anything that is business productivity tool, is generally charged for. get the framework sdk - most of the popular comp mags and the primer kit cd will be carrying it, and you can get any of the many free editors/ides out there to get started. VS.net is generally sold at that cost 1) for the huge effort put into it as well as 2) because it is a sheer business oriented tool. for almost all the other investigative study and learning as well as real parctical apps the framework sdk will suit your needs. (there are one or two things that i wish the sdk distribution would let you do - maybe microsoft will address these) i hope this changes your opinion a bit. do come for the next UG meeting on 27th and get your primer kit cd (if there are any left) :). rosh ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/bdotnet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
