Hi
Soumitra,
I agree with you to some extent. We end up becoming Jack of all,
master of none. However, you have to agree that, thats how our
industry works. Would you still like to build applications in VB6, when you are
provided with VB.Net which has complete OOP features, lot of different
components to work with, lot of accessibility and superb VS.Net IDE and the best
.Net framework? Not only Microsoft, take any other product, say Oracle, we
have new versions every year with lot of features. Why they have to do release
so many products followed by so many release packs and patches? Answer is
simple.. If they won't, some one will! Its a dog-eat-dog world out
there.
'Rushing in the world of technology will only
create gurus who do not understand the full implications of things to come and
over all result in poor software
quality' Coming to this aspect.. as Srinivas pointed out..
nobody is perfect and nobody has to be a master of everything. You are provided
with lot of options to go with. Example: Some years back we had COM. Then
developers were left with that no option to extend the reach to machines on
other computers. Somebody thought remoting will do the best.. so, new paradigm
was born. Later somebody thought we have to reach the same with other
environments, other languages, other platforms. so webservices were born.
Similarly Microsoft thought VB is cool RAD tool and C++ is too
powerful.. why not combine these with more features.. and lo C# was
born. There was a hitch.. what will happen to VB6
developers... lo, VB.Net was born. As a developer we have
more options to learn and implement. That may just add up jargon as
you have rightly pointed out. But no avail. We should be wise enought to choose
what we want ultimately. Lets say, we can master one paradigm to say
70-80%. Lets face it .. Nobody can mug up
MSDN completely.
To put it in simple terms, nobody would like to maintain documents in .txt
files, when there is lot more options available in MS Word. Nobody would like to
code in Notepad when VS.Net is available with lot more shortcuts to do
many time consuming tasks in very less time. Nobody would like
working on Windows 95 or 98, when they have tasted Windows 2000 ... much
more basic question, why pentium 4 when even we can do away with 486 machine :)
It is a industry wide problem, and as long as we are in this industry we have to
go with the flow. Nothing is constant in this world except constant
change.
So, Soumitra, there is no point in questioning
the growth of technology and industry. What we have to question is what we have
to learn to implement the problem at hand, by using the best
out there, at a cost of some quality. Constant re-engineering and learning
process can improve the quality anyway.
Have a great day :)
