The systems that I have cleaned up that were way behind schedule were all
because of politics, turf building, etc. and not because of the tools used
to build something.
Folks, ya'll can all say that your favorite tool is the way to go, but in
the final analysis, they are all just tools, no different then a shovel and
it doesnt matter which one you use, BUT it does matter that you understand
the business you are in and what happens in these areas:
1. Receipt of the order to shipment of the product
2. Receipt of the raw materials to releaseing the finished good into
inventory

Subject: RE: [JOB] Looking for a VFP to .NET conversion team
We are also porting a huge legacy app to .net.... I just finished one of
the
major pieces of functionality converting a ton of local engine/cursor work
to ado/sql. It hasn't taken us years, we've found no problems we
couldn't
overcome with a change of mindset, and the execution times of the new app
is
almost identical to the fox app. With .3 seconds...so much for the
--unachievable in any thing else --power of the local data engine...

Really? How is stating my observations egotistical? I didn't say the
.Net group that is taking over 5 years to do what I did in 8 months
sucks. I didn't say I'm so fantastic I can do in 8 months what it
takes 5 years to do in .Net. I simply stated what my previous client
has told me. I actually consider myself about average when it comes to
software coding. I'm not privy to why it's taking them so long, and
why they can't get the .Net system to match the functionality of the
VFP system. I just know it's happening that way. Do you find such
truthful observations painful?
My point was I've seen a 'blind stipulation' to do something in .Net
cause nightmares. I'm not the only one on the list that's seen it
either. If you care about that previous boss, you may want to warn
him. But then, is that the boss that tossed you out? So why should
you care?
I've done 2 VFP conversions and two acccess conversions to both web and
winform C# apps. Didn't take years because I also did other new out of
the
box .Net apps.
So for truthful observations I find yours biased. You don't know of any
others? Oh well.
