IS-IT--Management
We're embarking on a long-term (2 year) development effort for a distributed client/server application (our clients are worried about security and data entry speed, so we're not focused on a web product yet). A few of my developers have been pushing for .NET instead of the Visual Studio 6 that we're using now. I have a couple questions regarding the migration:
Are there any disadvantages to migrating?
Are there significant enough advantages to justify the cost (we have a very limited IT budget)?
We'd like to keep all of our server-side code as straight C or C++ to ensure that we can leverage the same code on any O/S (e.g. Linux) if we move to the web. Will .NET inhibit our cross-platform options?
Many thanks in advance,
