Tough question on WPF, Win32, MFC
- by Mack
Let's suppose you're an IT student with a basic knowledge of C++ and C#. Let's suppose that you want to design apps that:
need to deliver some performance like archivers, cryptographic algorithms, codecs
make use of some system calls
have a gui
and you want to learn an Api that will enable you to write apps like those described earlier and:
is mainstream
is future proof
entitles you to find a decent job
is easy enough - I mean easy like VCL, not easy like winapi
So, making these assumptions, what Api will you choose? MFC, WPF, other? I really like VCL and QT, but they're not mainstream and I think few employers will want you to write apps in QT or Visual C++ Builder...
Thanks for answers.
