Bob Calms The Storm
Bob Z has posted on the Softvelocity Blog re the Clarion UKCUG meeting.
It’s a clarification post, addressing misinformation that occured on Dev Dawn (and consquently ClarionMag.
This will be a good thing for the community I believe.
Bob is blogging, talking to the community. One of the most common complaints I read on the newsgroups is SV’s lack of communication.
Dev Dawn was reporting straight away, and despite me not being there, going through Mark, it turned out okay.
I responded to each and every clarification that was shown to me. I’m not at all worried about changing what I’ve already written if it’s wrong, it would be silly to be so arrogant as to take that stance. But I’d do it again in an instant (with some more wisdom intact of course, perhaps a micro-second slower :)), because we’re the community. We pass info around.
Noone can be responsible for how someone else reacts to the information but that individual themselves, the only thing to do is to make sure the information is accurate.
So thanks to Bob for blogging. Clarifying. Communicating.
[...] Bob’s Post In Full Published by Stu 0 minutes ago in News & Opinions, Clarion I spoke about Bob’s post to the community in a previous post. He’s given me permission to regale it here in all it’s glory. So here ‘tis. ———— Update on the Clarion UKCUG meeting I’m back in the USA after a great trip to the UK and France. The Clarion UK user group meeting in Cambridge was a very good time. I had a chance to meet with some great folks, and it was a superb location. My thanks to Richard Rose for organizing the event, and to all of the developers who attended. I had a chance to speak with many of those who attended, and I came away with a clearer understanding of what developers want and need for both Clarion 7 and Clarion.Net. Between Scott and myself we covered the gamut, from updates to the Clarion 7 UI feature set, to the new functionality in the Project system, Class Browser, Window and Report Designers, source code Editor and much more. Then I did code walkthroughs and ran live Clarion WinForm applications, WebForm apps, Web services, and Mobile applications. My presentation alone ran about 4 hours. Because we covered so much new territory it’s natural to expect that some of the information would be misinterpreted, and upon my return I found that some information posted at devdawn.com and at clarionmag.com is a bit off the mark and has created some confusion. I’ll try to clarify a few things here, addressing the items posted that were not quite accurate, and also answering some questions sent in via email to our sales/support team that were generated from the incorrect information.
