About 4 years ago I worked at this job - that was totally unrelated to my background - as it had nothing to do with programming or computer graphics or teaching. It was as a manager of large scale print projects(like overseeing the printing of standardized test results for ALL the students at ALL the schools within the Whole of NYC). There was this data I had to work with - and I was considering making a small database system. I was looking into using Access to do it - and at the time - I really had NO Knowledge of working with Access. I didn't have a good time with it - and it left a "bad taste in my mouth". Although, truthfully - I didn't have enough time available during work hours to properly do it.
I've also heard that's its not really great at making nice GUI's for data access, supposedly only basic GUI's. Again - its only what I have heard in the past. And, although the system I already developed is fairly small - the interface to the data is important to me - and I want to make something as elegant or Better in whatever Tech. I decide to use on this project. Again - all my knowledge of Access is mostly hearsay - I never really researched into as a possible development tool, except that time at my previous job... -K- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of M Jarvis Sent: Monday, May 14, 2012 1:02 PM On Mon, May 14, 2012 at 9:41 AM, Kurt Wendt <[email protected]> wrote: > Access!

I think (and prolly a lot of people on this list) that Access is like slumming it as far as dev goes... but it's MARKETABLE... If you need a job in a hurry, alphabet soup languages are great, but Access opens doors... -- Matt Jarvis _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a140e260...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
