Victor Leigh Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 That's right. Old and very rusty. No typo there. Very rusty. Not trusty at all. It had been decades since I last wrote any code. However the last I checked, one of the programs I wrote, a hotel front-office application is still running. So it looks like my bullet-proofing is still holding up. I started with Dos and dBase. Maybe some people here would think that I should be in the Jurassic Park. From dBase, I migrated to foxBase as soon as it came out and I tested it. foxBase was more than ten times faster than dBase. I joined this forum to get back into the swing of things. So many things have changed. Right now I am thinking of learning how to write a mobile app. Shouldn't be too difficult. I think. Never know until I really start writing the code. btw how do you write "Hello, World" for a mobile app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor Leigh Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Thank you for your welcome. Are you sure it was really interesting? I mean, does anyone here use dBase or foxBase? They are very old programming languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godric Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 I have used foxpro. But not fox base. But still a nice thread. I didn't know about these tools before. How old are they anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
