We had windows, Linux and Java platforms to develop applications. We enjoyed writing code upon these platforms. We developed many desktop applications. We learned how to access win32 apis, java packages and linux kernel.
Five years from now, programmers will not be speaking about win32 apis of java packages. Their discussion will include google Apis, amazon storage services, Identity management services and yahoo apis.
The computing world is changing and also does our development platforms. We will not be wiring code to access the hard disk file system, instead we will be writing code to access amazon s3 storage service.
I still remember writing C code to get the system date 6 years back. But now Ill write code using a google API to fetch calender information from google server itself. Spreadsheets api, gadgets api, ajax api, maps api…… more and more apis are being released everyday.

yes i agree that a big chunk of applications will be ported to or interfaced in to internet in future. but then also you can’t escape from those pretty old c routines and shells. because, within those corner stones they built the operating system, no machines can work without an operating system, file system and process scheduler and most of those in avoidable portions can be done in only one language as of today ( or even tomorrow) thats C language!
If it is today or even after a 10 more years, nothing will happened for the purpose and utility for core technologies, those can’t be changed. technology is changing rapidly in top layer only, lile web2.0, ajax, and web services. it may change further, like an yearly basis. but still the basics remains, and it will be there forever…
