Saas software as a service

Software-on-demand and small businesses

Frank has a post talking about why small businesses don’t get the concept of “software on demand”. My perspective is that small businesses don’t want software on demand. One argument put forward by Frank is that small businesses have minimal IT staff therefore they should welcome a third-party company who is prepared to look after the IT […]

Visual Basic

So long Classic VB

I feel I have to weigh in to the current debate regarding the end of support of VB6. Many people have stated that they see no reason to move working VB6 applications to the .Net framework. They feel because they are still using VB6 that Microsoft should still support and enhance it. As a vendor […]

Biztalk Server

I was replaced by a biztalk server

I have to share this gem. This is from the first page of the Biztalk server documentation. “Imagine being the parts manager for an automobile manufacturing company. Your database system informs you that you are low on door handles, so you need to act quickly. You fax a purchase order (PO) to a supplier, who […]

Applications need to be written to take advantage of […]

Farewell

Mr. Grimes Farewell If this is the kind of FUD that Mr. Grimes usually puts out I’m glad he is giving up on .Net commentary column. His complaints from what I can see: – They copied stuff from WFC and VB. – The framework is too large for shareware developers, so it will never gain momentum. […]

XML

XML: The good and the bad

Here is a link to the schema for an Advanced Shipping Notification document defined by the American Institute for Steel Construction. And here is the format for submitting a summary of an employee’s annual earnings(T4) to the Canadian government. The ASN has tags such as BillOfLadingReference, TransactionDateTime, ShipmentDateTime, ShipmentWeight and is nicely nested to represent the data relationships between […]

New PC

A New PC

Finally, I got myself a new PC. I can retire my well worn Dell 4100 PIII 1Ghz and move up to a Dell Precision 370 P4 2.8Ghz with 1GB. I haven’t got the machine up and running with all of my applications but so far I’m very happy. It has a 160 GB Serial ATA […]
