Well, when one says Windows Programming, you should be geared towards
learning VC++ - the Windows way , which I see many dont. I have taken many
seminars and classes and once I go deep into explaining what MFC generated
code does, they stop me and ask, why to learn those internals!. I am not
sure of other courses and colleges, but when I did my PG at Amrita-CBE, we
had many works done with VC++
I for one disagree with that. I learnt most of my programming under DOS and
then with Linux, but I was able to get into both VC++ and VC# with very
little effort. As long as you keep in mind that it's just a toolkit and a
different compiler, you're fine.
Anyway, we have Qt and GTK for windows, which are both much nicer than MFC,
and .Net's toolkit is quite good (and self-explanatory) too. I don't see much
of a problem in learning to program under one OS or the other, except maybe
some details with the IDE's UI. Even that's easy to get around...
