Hey guys, thanks for the advice.
However I think that to dismiss code generation wholesale
is going to do me more harm than if i'd consider using em.
I mean, don't all IDEs today use code generators?
Where would we be if these 'terrible idea' :) was never
conceived of?
But I did get everyone's point, and am very grateful for
the insights. They'll definitely help me and my pal as
we travel this road less travelled - vfp, that is. :)
