>> In some ways it seems we are going backwards in the software world. Take Visual Interdev and ASP. After working with VFP, VB and other RAD tools using a text editor or Visual Interdev seemed like a step backwards to dBase II. Code is created by the pound or ream. Is that progress? ASP has many limitations that are real. Enter .NET the solution with problems and the unknown. <<

ASP.NET is a step back in the right direction. It is a GUI tool, it has a real debugger, and the code is several times faster than ASP code.

>> Now with .NET we are told we have OOP. The “benefit” of thousands of classes is ours but where to begin and why? <<

Someone is going to do for .NET what Alan Griver did for FoxPro. When FP 2.0 came out everyone could see it had a lot of whiz-bang features, but not many people knew exactly what to do with it. YAG released his Codebook framework and that got a lot of us pointed in the right direction. I see a similar need now in the .NET arena.
