[AccessD] Access Services changed in 2013 release

Hi Mark:

But there you go again thinking like a developer. As a mature company they
have a tendency to view programmer as little more than an abstraction layer.


Their focus is on the Sales staff and consumers and their hope one day is to
remove the requirement for developers all together. Why would they encourage
them? In addition, allowing programmers to create and develop in some OSS
language is totally against their philosophy. Why do you think that MS has
fought so hard to make their browser incompatible?

You have to look to new areas, like Microsoft's new products with
proprietary development languages or new startup type companies that are
looking for external developers to grow their businesses.

Jim

No, you missed that last post about the 2013 changes. It's a long
blog....and one of the reasons I kinda hate blogging.
Blogs need to be short articles that are properly catalogued and
cross-referenced.

Agreed - with no powerful language support, those apps are toys.
Why Microsoft didn't go with full Javascript support and a VBA to Javascript
translator is beyond me.
That's a no brainer. Then again, I don't see much in the way of clear
thinking coming from Redmond any more.
