iapetoson Ask HN: ASP.NET practical in terms of job prospects?

@hkarthik I understand getting trapped in the ecosystem. That is a choice I would have to make if I am going into .NET.

iapetoson ASK HN: I lack programming skills but want an IT future suggestions?

@apsurd Thanks. Appreciate your response. Yes I realize what you mean by getting involved in a complete application. I set out to achieve the same but ever so often I try to choose a language to learn and then I just cannot grasp the concepts.

I keep figuring out should I learn Java first or should I go back to C that I learnt years ago. This is where I am stuck and I needed help with.

iapetoson ASK HN: I lack programming skills but want an IT future suggestions?

@wh-uws I meant that I have tried my hands at coding but I succumb to it and give up feeling I cannot grab the concepts and the system admin stuff I have no issues with but although i could take system admin as a focus I feel with being an admin I cannot create something of my own and thats what keeps me going back to learning code. I keep switching languages and I believe that is what is screwing the efforts up.

Thank you for the link. Looks like a good read.
