I’ve been trying to get a grip of where ms are going with .net, with Blend being shut down recently (which we use a lot) I need to come up with answers to my seniors but can’t find any definite answers anywhere.<br />
Are there any websites that can point me in the right direction that anyone knows of ?<br />
I’ve also read that the future of wpf in general is in doubt ! &nbsp;so what’s going to replace it &nbsp;??? &nbsp;are we going back to objective C ???<br />
<br />
I’ve been searching like Sherlock Holmes over the past 3 days and haven’t come up with much <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance, <br />

Does anyone know where Microsoft are heading with .net ?

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
