Are Things Looking Grim For Developer2000?

Question

Hi all D2K professionals,
There is a buzz in the S/W Scenario these days suggesting that D2K is down in a big way in the Mrket. Is this True?
I would like some comments from all experienced D2K Professional as well the Oracle Team (Both Forms and Reports Teams).

Arora,
Yes, what u said is true. But, i can see in the S/w market that the demand for D2k guys are quite less as compared to ASP,VB etc.. The projects also are quite less preferred in D2k than in VB or PB.
What do ya say ?

hi,
first of all, tell me, are you a d2k professional yourself. for how many years you have been working on oracle platform, both front-end and back-end. are you aware about all the products oracle is offering.
now, my views are something like below:
1. on the database side, no one can beat oracle for the coming years, and that can be till infinity.
2. on the front-end side, i have worked on vb, pb and d2k. and i have felt is that development of forms and reports with d2k is the easiest and the fastest.
3. on the application server side, no one but oracle is offering a single platform for c/s and web deployment. so, you dont have to go for a heterogenous platform.
for more details we can continue our discussion forum.
bye and be confident about oracle more than you are confident about yourself.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
