Hi Tony -- The main (economical) advantage of using .NET development is that you can start developing simple VB.NET or C# utility or WinForms application for your customer and then with relatively little efforts you can scale it (/parts of it) into a Web Service or ASP.NET application or MS Windows Service or ... -- Shamil -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Tony Septav Sent: Monday, June 22, 2009 9:15 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: [AccessD] Learning .Net Hey All Like many of you on this list I have to admit I am an old fart. Must mention that I deal with small to medium sized netwroked businesses. As has been stated it is hard to "teach an old fart new tricks". Like many of you I realize that I have to learn SQL Server and .Net or go the way of the dinosaur. But to me that is playing into the industry marketing "flavour of the day". Other than the IT Borg saying it will not put your ACCESS application on our system, I don't really see how it matters what language you use. If you produce a fast, user friendly application that is easy, intuitive and bullet proof for the user, who cares. If the industry marketers would allow I could still use Lotus 123 for DOS to develop number crunching spreadsheets that 80% of the users would be quite content to use because it produces the results they are looking. Same with ACCESS, I still have 97 Apps out there being updated and working fine. I have not seen any "earth shattering" advances to spread/work sheet and database concepts since their original design, only silly bells and whistles. I could be wrong and I know many of you will set me straight. Why SQL Server and not Oracle????? -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4179 (20090622) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.esetnod32.ru __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4179 (20090622) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.esetnod32.ru
