When trying to sign-up for MSN Video Alerts, I was redirected to the link below and recieved a 500 error. Curiously the sever is based on Java rather than.Net. Is this a case where.Net can't scale or a convoluted attempt to slam J2EE.
HTTP Status 500 - Exception report: The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
root cause: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError Apache Tomcat/4.1.29
While I don't think that the craft of programming will ever go away, given the large number of kids with access to computers I am confident that the supply of programmers will be sufficient.
Kids have a very rich source of programming languages and paradigms from which to choose in the Windows environment. Windows scripting, VB Script embedded in IE 6 and MS Office, an almost infinite supply of environments like Java, Python and Perl.
