Are you a programmer? Chances are, you, well.... you are if you're reading this blog! HAHA LOL But in all seriousnes, the question about "what's the next big thing" is just as valid as it was last year or ten years ago!
Check this out, Apple's about to release their iPad after much bru-haha, and after two years of HUGE iPhone success, Microsoft's going on two years of pushing WPF/SL and it's starting to get traction (ok, arguably, so, but it is getting more trade-rag reporting). Also WP7 is about to be released. MANY more details are coming out at Mix 2010 in Vegas (MAN, I'd love to be there!). So! The question is, what's the next big thing?
Well, if you as electronista, they'll be able to tell you the mobile market segment is going to grow over 800% by 2013!!!! That's three years man! WOW! That's.....just.............WOW!!!!!!!!! 800%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I ask you again, and I'm serious, please leave your comments, where are you going to be spending your efforts, both personal and professional? Are you going to do iPhone development, or maybe WP7? What about WinForms or WPF or Silverlight?
Now that I've thrown that out there for discussions, it's time to grab a coffee and get coding!
