Code tip: Include items – Part 1
I usually don’t post code tips but since I haven’t published anything in a while, I thought I’d post this tidbit on how to use Include items elegantly.
MV to the web – Part 2
This is part 2 in the “MV to the web” series. In the first part I described code changes needed to specific functions to separate out the UI from the rules. In this part I’ll describe a structure you can use for all program item/subroutines to organize your modularized functions.
MV to the web – Part 1
A lot of BASIC developers still want to get to the web, but they aren’t sure what’s required. Let’s work it out here. This is Part 1 of 3 blog/articles that will help to get you started.

We have a new product that’s in a highly functional alpha status and I’d like to enter into discussions with people to discuss required features. In short, this allows BASIC subroutines to quickly render as Web Services for inbound requests from trading partners. It’s primarily an end-user product but of course VARs are welcome to offer this as a value-add […]

Wow, that’s cool. Now should I be a good community citizen and give it away? Should I give anything away? In this […]

It doesn’t matter if you are talking about TAPI, scanners, weight scales, IM/chat, GPS, […]
