 VDF Seminar Report October 2008
As in 2007, The UK VDF SIG joined forces with Data Access Europe to present two days of Visual Dataflex topics at the Birmingham National Exhibition Centre.
The main interest of the morning was a first look at Visual DataFlex 2008 v14.1, followed by some topics that explored the general subject of bringing, or keeping, applications up to date, starting with a look at the subject of updating real "legacy" applications. With the rapidly advancing potential of the Codejock visual controls, even Visual Dataflex applicaitons can benefit from a n update today!
