Is not for studentes, I ma hiring some people to do some
development in access and I need to know how much they know
abou the program
An interview and a two hour practical demonstration of building
a demonstration application would probably suffice. The help
files are of very little help in debugging an application,, the
help files do not prevent or allow a programmer to use a(ny)
logical naming convention, etc. and proper indentation,
comments, etc. Those are far more important in my opinion than
theoretical questions about the proper sequence of parameters
for the instr() function, etc.
As to the two hour limit, last week my manager came to me with a
request for an estimate to build a database to manage supplier
performance ratings. He askid if I could generate the estimate
the number of man-weeks to build the app for a staff meeting in
two hours. I supplied the estimate, including a working demo
app., of about 8 man-weeks. It was accepted on the spot.
