SSW Software Audit
|
|
Companies from across the globe have been taking advantage of SSW's Software
Audit Services. The common message that is received from clients is that
getting their software built in-house can sometimes lead to a failure to
identify design flaws and architectural insufficiencies. They need an unbiased
second opinion from a knowledgeable source that can make recommendations to
improve the quality of their software.

The Cutting Edge
|
|
| G'day Developers! |
|
Supporting old operating systems and old versions means you have
more (and often messy) code, with lots of if or switch statements. This might
be OK for you, because you wrote the code, but down the track when someone else
is maintaining it, then there is more time/expense needed. I believe when you
realize there is a better way to do something, then you should change it, clean
code should be the goal, however because this affects old users, and changing
interfaces at every whim also means expense for all the apps that break, the
decision isn't so easy to make.

Microsoft Roadshow - Microsoft Access: Upgrading and Migrating to SQL Server
and .NET
|
|
Adam is touring Australia as special a guest speaker for the latest Microsoft
Roadshow on Microsoft Access: Upgrading and Migrating to SQL Server and .NET.
The aim of the roadshow is to show the attendees how to convert an Access
application to .NET Windows Forms and Reporting Services powered by a SQL
Server database. The entire process of converting from Access to an enterprise
level solution will be covered in two days, using a modified version of
Northwind as an example. The attendees will approach the task as a real world
problem where the entire project will be migrated in four steps (releases).
Each step will be a logical extension of the last, allowing developers to stop
their own development at a step where they will still have a functioning
system, even though it may not necessarily be the best solution.
