What you are saying is true.

During the last fours years, I have witnessed two enterprise level java projects which were slated to replace two legacy FoxPro apps. Over that period, both projects cost the client millions - not just one or two, but tens of millions. Both applications are in production today, but for the most part, are pieces of junk for the follwing reasons:

[1] Most of the Java guys didn't have a clear understanding of data concepts. The ones that did were too busy "defining the sandwich"
[2] Technology contraints.

Perry, if you are reading this, is there anything you want to add?


>Exactly... The more puzzling is why the programming community has been ignoring this for so long. Of course we as VFP developers knew, but until recently, and even today, there are whole vocal .NET (but outside of this forum of course also JAVA) tribes up here who deny this. I can only guess it is denial or total desinterest, or truly not understanding this.
