    Question What next ?

    I am thinking about what should I invest into next ?

    I work from 8 to 5 with only 1 hour for lunch (I think it should be 1 1/2 ) from Mon to Fri as a web developer. I don't want to lose/ignore my previous stuff (making desktop applications). But lately I have heard that all desktop applications will die out soon because the time for web/phone applications is coming along.

    I would say to invest into what you are best at doing. If you can come at the top, then surely you won't have regrets.

    It will be a long long time before desktop pc's die out - if ever. yes, the whole world is making a whole hoo-ha about web and phone apps and the cloud. Think about this: how would a secretary do all her work on a smartphone? Yes, she will be able to send emails, but typing large documents, not possible.
