Hi Marty ---

Nice points. I guess my main point is that there is a dwindling compelling need for proprietary front-ends such as those in VB and VFP. Scary, but true. Now I'll probably have Jim N. yelling at me ;-D


>I agree with you that n-tier needs are starting to pop up all over the place. I heard on the news yesterday that consumer holiday spending on the internet was up this year 230%. I read in the paper that 1998 may be remembered as "the year the internet went mainstream."

>As for the lack of n-tier resumes (MTS, MSMQ, SQL, DCOM), I would think that it's still too new to be seen much. The people who have experience are probably still at the gig that "paid" them to learn it. I would tend to be more loyal to a company which was allowing me to develop in "current" technologies vs. legacy.
