From: Sherlock on 4 Oct 2006 07:30 Geoff, snip[ I can now find C# developers to add to my team at the drop of a hat. For VO (and obviously Vulcan), I would have to train them. This won't worry the individual or contractor but it is of concern to the workshop. ] With almost unlimited work out there ,.. how come these guys/gals are looking for job ? Some of the developers I have met with 'quickie' program courses are not worth feeding. You guys say over and over and over you have to learn the framework and this is basis of .NET and it is obvious no language will suit everybody. You have a suite of language choices available to build a ..NET app. Look at the list of languages for .NET http://www.dotnetpowered.com/languages.aspx Even VULCAN is on the list. Quite frankly if there are this many langauges already in .NET and this would of cost quite a bit a lot of developers want to stay with a language they know. Phil McGuinness ------------------------

Surely you're not ready to hit the golf > course full time yet - have they put it back together for you yet? Thanks for asking about that. They reopened my course the first of August. Of course all of us wanted to play on it and did, and it was hot (as it usually is) so the greens got pretty well beaten up. They closed it again so the greens could heal after just a couple of weeks. It's now scheduled to reopen November 1. You probably won't see me online as much after then. <g> Ginny
From: Ginny Caughey on 4 Oct 2006 07:47 Geoff, Brian is just responding to market demand from what I can tell. I didn't want VO 2.8, but I must admit it's nice using it. I may feel the same way about the next one, but I do hope I don't need it. -- Ginny "Geoff Schaller" <geoff(a)xxxsoftwareobjectives.com.au> wrote in message news:45235276$1(a)dnews.tpgi.com.au... > Ginny, > >> Although I do hope that 2.8 is the last version of VO that I use, I have >> it >> on good authority that it will not be the last version that Grafx >> produces. >> Maybe it will be like Clipper 5.3... > > Interesting. > > Ok, Phil's misinformation aside, it was Brian who made the announcement to > the VOPS forum that VO 2.8 was likely to be the last version for pure VO. > Mind you he also simultaneously announce that the VOPS would not receive > any more VO32 builds before the end of the year and we all saw how wrong > that one was <g>.

From: Graham McKechnie on 4 Oct 2006 08:59 Phil, I aware what PHP is Phil ,you really aren't Robinson Crusoe in using it. So what has PHP got to do in a discussion concerning Vulcan and C#, there hasn't been any web development discussion in this thread.

So true. > Geoff you posted so much misinformation you got the bullet from VOPS. > You just make it up and then keep pushing the story .. your worse than > FOX news. ROTF,L, Isn't FOX News the one that claims "Fair and Balanced" ? That comment is priceless ! All the best, Brian |
