A Big Bravo to Microsoft And Another One To Bill Gates

By: Jeffrey A Solochek




I admit for the last little over a decade I have not been real happy with either one. I lost almost 2 years of my life because of myself following what Microsoft instructed me over the phone to do. For almost 2 years I was held in federal custody and my family had to live in homeless shelters during this time. I have spent the last decade collecting as much negative info as I could find about Microsoft and my Brother wants me to put all of this into a movie which would seriously cripple Microsoft and it's founder Mr. Gates.

For the past few months I have been trying to find a good programmers application generator because outsourcing to countries like Indonesia was getting expensive and taking too much time. Mt son, Jake, has had a lot of software created over the last year and he is making a lot of money with these programs and it is time that I follow in his footsteps but I don't have a lot of extra money to throw into outsourcing programmers. It turns out that my son had downloaded this Free software called Microsoft Visual Web Developer a few months back and he says that he told me about this but I do not recall him ever telling me.

Microsoft has created some great products which is geared for people without any programming skills and will allow people like myself to create software without having to spend a lot of money. Microsoft gives this software away completely Free. Anybody can got to the Microsoft dot com website forward slash express and then forward slash download and if you have never thought about programming this is by far the best and easiest way to learn. There are a lot of great videos and other help resources that you get when you install this product..

The only thing I could find wrong with this product was that the site had you download the new 2008 version but yet the training is still the training for the 2005 product which has a slightly different navigational system. I was going through the 2008 training and couldn't figure out why certain things gave a different GUI. Finally after a little research I discovered that I had to install a previous version of VWD, the 2005 version in order for the training to match up with the application. Both versions will run side by side however so there is no need to have to uninstall the 2008 version in order to install the 2005 version. Hopefully Microsoft will include some 2008 training on their website or at least show the differences between the 2005 version and the new 2008 version.

If you have some knowledge of programming then you can start off with the tier 2 learning that Microsoft provides and they also told me about ASP.Net and their great training resources which help to fill in a few blanks. I have never been too hip on Microsoft but with the VWD product that opinion has greatly changed. With VWD you will also learn VisualBasic and Visual C and Javascript. Everything is in plain english which is very different from the old manuals you used to get when you bought an older version of a MS product like Office which back then I thought those manuals were created for the people at NASA.

Just so you know that a regular non express edition of this software could cost you several hundred dollars and the regular version of Visual Studio will cost you over a grand. Now we can get the same product with just a few less features completely at no cost whatsoever. Because of this I applaud Microsoft and I applaud Bill Gates.

I used to think that Microsoft was against all Open Source programming but they have made Open Source Templates readily available to users of their Visual Express products. They say that when you refuse to let go off the past that the past will hold you back and I think that my negative opinion about Microsoft has been holding me back. It's time that I put my entire past behind me and from now on only move forward in life.
