I'm a 25year DBASE-5 DOS programmer and want/have to step over to new
program/platform software, because there is no future anymore for DOS after
W-XP, I've been looking around for alternatives and cannot figure out where to
start, I already have been learning the SQL with SSMS database system/script
this is very important because I work mostly with large databases
invoicing/stock/statements etc. I always manage my users with
design-programs,windows-input,files-views, using custom made windows/input. I
did all this in *.prg files with hard-coding. I have some ideas in mind like
Java with (ECLIPS) because it is very popular, it is the most widely used and
can get tutorials and videos all over the internet. I've read a lot of good
things about Python, that it is much easier but too complicate to define what
to choose, at the first place witch version 2.x or 3.x, a lot of IDE's to
choose from, beside of that witch IDE with what pluggin. I'll need something
suitable to manage/manipulate
M-SQL. I have a lot of programs to rewrite and not much time, that's why it is
very important to me to start with something appropriate with the best software
combination that I can learn completely from the internet, cannot go back to
the classroom, too old for that. I appreciate very much that any of you can
help me to figure out to choose the right software combination for my new
project. Thanks....!
