Forward to Fox in 2007

Awesome that Kevin Cully is going to be holding his Fox Forward conference again. Hopefully this time I'll be able to make it down to Georgia for Friday September 7th; Saturday September 8th; and Sunday September 9th, 2007!

And it looks like he's looking for some good sessions on a wide variety of items:

1. FoxPro Technologies
* N-Tier Applications And Foxpro
* FoxPro Framework Shootout
* New FoxPro Sedna Capabilities - Taking it to the max
* The SednaX Project
* Comparing WWWC and AFP
* Calling .NET constructs from VFP
2. FoxPro leveraged technologies such as ActiveX Controls, Plug ins, Backend databases, etc.
* GDI+ - Look at what's now possible
* Extreme UI Controls in FoxPro (Cubes, Mapping, Animations, etc.)
* FoxPro to alternate backends - MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, DB2
* WWWC and Apache
* Linux as a development platform for FoxPro
* Open Office automation from FoxPro
3. Related and/or competing technologies from a FoxPro perspective
* Python / Dabo
* PHP-GTK - Fat client applications with PHP
* REALBasic - Cross platform, OO, Basic language
4. Computer based technologies that is non business application related (Servers, communications, graphics, etc.)
* Apache Web Server Administration and Tuning
* SourceSafe vs. CVS vs. Subversion - Source code control shootout
* Network and Internet Security for businesses

Great set of tracks there!

Elevating Project Specifications with Three Insightful ChatGPT Prompts

For developers and testers, ChatGPT, the freely accessible tool from OpenAI, is game-changing. If you want to learn a new programming language, ask for samples or have it convert your existing code. This can be done in Visual Studio Code (using GitHub CoPilot) or directly in the ChatGPT app or web site.  If you’re a tester, ChatGPT can write a test spec or actual test code (if you use Jest or Cypress) based on existing code, copied and pasted into the input area. But ChatGPT can be of huge value for analysts (whether system or business) who need to validate their needs. There’s often a disconnect between developers and analysts. Analysts complain that developers don’t build what they asked for or ask too many questions. Developers complain that analysts haven’t thought of obvious things. In these situations, ChatGPT can be a great intermediary. At its worst, it forces you to think about and then discount obvious issues.

There was pretty much only a handful of ways to get things going. Enter networking. That added a new wrinkle to how systems worked. Networks back then were finicky. One of my first jobs was working on a 3COM + LAN and it then migrated to LAN Manager. Enter Windows or the graphical user interface. The best depiction of the complexity Windows (OS/2, Windows NT, etc) introduced that I recall was by Charles Petzold (if memory serves) at a local user group meeting. He invited a bunch of people on the stage and then acted as the Windows "Colonel", a nice play on kernel. Each person had a role but to complete their job they always had to pass things back to h...
