What is .Net? - Page 2 - Microsoft Access / VBA

Paul Brady

Apparently, I have been living on the wrong planet.
I have written 15 databases in Microsoft Access in the past 10
years, some of which are split, one uses ODBC interface with a SQL
server, one has a many-to-many relationship, and all of which have
Basic code to handle events and run functions which I have coded, and
all this time have never heard of .Net -- until today.
So, I looked it up on Google, asking for Access and .Net and
got gizzilion millions of hits. I guess this is big time stuff.
Can anyone direct me to a readable web page that at least
tells me what .Net is, and whether it is something I should know about
and use?

Seriously and with no disrespect... I'm sure there are TV dinners that
are faster and 100 piece childrens puzzles that are easier... but I
just got handed a database of inventories of about 250 SKU's in 10
states in Access 2003 and my boss wants these 'online' for salespeople
to see tomorrow in a browser based read-only format... with .NET I'll
have it done in time to watch WGN news before bed!

Bully for you, but that doesn't alter the fact that the previous poster
described dotnet as "faster and easier", which is completely meaningless
without saying what he is comparing it to.

Incidentally, I suspect that any wizard with Dreamweaver and PHP could solve
your problem just as quickly, with a result that would be more efficient and
would work on Linux web servers to boot.

What's better about Ruby than Python?

by: Brandon J. Van Every | last post by:

What's better about Ruby than Python? I'm sure there's something. What is it? This is not a troll. I'm language shopping and I want people's answers. I don't know beans about Ruby or have any preconceived ideas about it. I have noticed, however, that every programmer I talk to who's aware of Python is also talking about Ruby. So it seems that Ruby has the potential to compete with and displace Python. I'm curious on what basis it...

Python syntax in Lisp and Scheme

by: mike420 | last post by:

I think everyone who used Python will agree that its syntax is the best thing going for it. It is very readable and easy for everyone to learn. But, Python does not a have very good macro capabilities, unfortunately. I'd like to know if it may be possible to add a powerful macro system to Python, while keeping its amazing syntax, and if it could be possible to add Pythonistic syntax to Lisp or Scheme, while keeping all of the...

What IDE are you using?
