Learning from each other (by yag)
Julia Lerman points out a blog entry by Jeff Julian in which he writes (about the DevEssentials conference):
After the show, I have a new respect for the passion of FoxPro developers. During a panel discussion, they show us .NET panelist that they have had features in their tools, that we are so excited about, for years.
As someone who has been involved with FoxPro since the 80's, and .NET since its early alpha - I just want to point out that both products have a lot to teach the other. As someone whose team owns responsibility for both VFP and .NET data features, our job is to make sure each one learns from the other. There is nothing I enjoyed more in building the latest version of both products than seeing a .NET Program Manager putting VFP screen shots in specs for some of the new data stuff - and conversely, having a VFP PM looking at VS 2005 for ideas on how to implement some of VFP 9's new features.
