Welcome to IWETHEY!

New No, but you'll take a chance on an
> open source rip off of Bill's new wonder hack won't cha?

Um.

No.

Read my response on the bottom. If I was going to use .Net,
I'd would have liked to also explore Mono, but more for
education and play than any thought of really deploying
it.

But I dropped .Net from consideration after going through a
tutorial on it tonight. Not applicable to the project.

Sorry about the characterization. I've never seen your
resume, I only know what I've read in here over the years.

I've only had 3 primary jobs in the last 20 years, along with
consulting on the side. I've had a variety of offers but
I took the safe road. Maybe I lost out on the big bucks.
Or maybe I've saved myself from drowning in tailspinning
dot com failure.

Who said anything about CTO magazine or MS sales rep? The
CTO didn't say use .Net, he said make it work on Windows
using technology that we have a good chance of hiring
people to support it. Everything else is me.

New If I were you
and had available expertise in VB and were considering getting this done in VB, and considered that it might be a win to have the app run on more than just Windows, I'd at least spend a little time evaluating RealBasic.

Because good management AFAK is about preserving options. VB is MS only for sure. RB is cross platform and if you're determined to work with troglodytes (lets face it, people who specialize in basic these days* are hardly your industry elites), you might at least try to get the most bang for your buck.



*BTW, the first proof of concept Smalltalk VM was actually written in Basic (Basic was popular in the late 70's after all).



That was lovely cheese.

New Done
Did a quick review of the site, accepted
it is applicable, forwarded off the to CTO.

He has looked into it in the past, it seems
my RPG-III / VB Programming brother turned
him on to it!

Is now in consideration for this project.

Thanks for reminding me about it.
