I have a very short question for yo

I have a very short question for you guys.

I know many Microsoft products but also I know of Java, selvlets, applets capabiltities(I know how to use them, i toy with them sometime)

Recently I had started learn ATL(it goes a little slowly but it moves forward). Now I like also the new COM features I discovered, the ASP link through interfaces & other stuff.

It's my work in vain? is there another product newer that replaces he ATL in .NET or in omething else?

Thank you, s-)

BurtanI, I'm no expert on Microsoft development tools and technologies, but maybe you should start looking at C# and VB.NET. I've heard C# has some Java-like features (like automatic garbage collection, if I'm not mistaken) and is easier to learn than C++.

From what I understand, C++ is going to become a very specialized skill, so learning ATL was not in vain.

ATL and COM isn't as prevalent in ASP.Net as it was in ASP, I know that much... but I don't know how the ATL fits into the windows DNA, since I haven't read up much on Windows DNA since the advent of .Net.

But, with the advent of .Net... there is a large movement towards C#, especially since Microsoft is gearing their entire lifeblood towards getting all computers to play together harmoniously.

I don't see how ATL could be a waste of time, since I believe that COM will be here to stay, if not in internet applications, at least in client side apps...

just my thoughts...

Thank you, guys
varocho, I know how C3 generally works, it resembles more Java the C++. You have confirmed my knowledge.

vasah20 - thank you, I think you are quite right about the COM, though I have heard that SOAP protocol together with C# features and ASP can succesfully replace COM/DCOM.
