C# on the IPOD for VFP programmers! - Tuesday, April 13th, 2004 at 17h30
Pat Murtaugh couldn't leave his programmer's mind at the office. When the youth soccer team that he coaches, complained about everyone not getting equal playing time, Pat wrote a timer program to moniter each kid's time on the field.
To get it running on an IPOD, he converted a Fox Pro prototype to C Sharp. Come to our April meeting to see how a simple C # program works, how it compares with VFP, and how it can be further developed. Pat's not going overpower us with a slide show filled with a million things that you've never seen before. He's going step by step through a thought process -- including missteps, improving on "cut and paste inheritance", and commentary comparing Fox with C Sharp.
The second act of the meeting isn't decided yet. Make your bid to show us something. If it complements Pat's forray into the Dot Net world, good. If we shine a light on another corner of the programmer's puzzle, that's good too.
Our after-meeting social sessions at Cavanaugh's on the 1st Floor of the Monadnock are a great chance for tall tales, hyperbole, couldas and shouldas, inking 6 figure contracts, venting frustration against large software companies, intentions to to attend far away conferences, poorly expressed algorithms, and visons of future glory.
Next Meeting: April 13th 5:30, 53 W. Jackson. Suite 826.
