in this corporate world of computing where the GUI´s reign supreme, is there still a place for the C programming language??? <IMG SRC="images/forum/smilies/icon_confused.gif">

Hrmmm... Well, I´ve been a Delphi coder for years and have been VERY happy with the introduction of the GUI interface! But, saying that, without the groundwork covered in using low level ASM instructions and also using the Pascal based language I would have taken AGES to develop my program!!

<BR>Still, to answer your question... In some applications YES, and most WIN software no.

When you say C programming language you obviously do not mean C++ or Visual C++, because both of these are Object Orientated Programming languages, and therefor can be used to make GUI´s.
<BR>Personally I think that in that sense, the C is a bit dead and the main players are C++, Visual C++, Java, Delphi, etc...
