Microsoft MSDN Universal Subscription 7.0 Upgrade
from Microsoft.
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Standard Edition (5-client)
from Microsoft.
There are some important additions, such as clustering and failover support, and a few niceties like user-defined functions and indexed views. Upgrading the data format from 7 to 8 was seamless, but replication was painful. Gone are the Enterprise Manager HTML-based pages at the machine level,...
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Developer
from Microsoft.
I have just started using this program and have already made a great website with flash, and HTML designs I highly recommend it to anyone who wants programming to be an easy thing.
Microsoft Visual Basic .NET Standard
from Microsoft.
...Microsoft Visual Basic Standard edition has always been a crippled version of the Pro version. The compilers and .NET Framework on top of which all versions of VB.NET and VS.NET sit is completely free to download! On top of that Microsoft has made available a free IDE for ASP.NET development...
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Developer Upgrade
If you're a Microsoft developer, you don't have much choice. There are some semi-lame development tools out there for the .NET platform but this is your only real choice. Of course, this is Version 1.0 of new technology so I expect vast improvements in the future. Microsoft is not famous for coming...
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer
from Microsoft.
I still have not used the product to full capacity, however, it is much faster. I would be careful however if you are putting it in a native SQL 7 environment - you can upgrade the database, however any manipulations you do in 2000 will not be reflected when transfering back to SQL 7. If you upgrade...
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Enterprise Architect
from Microsoft.
I come from a Visual Basic (3 and newer) and C/C++ background doing a great deal of development under both Windows and Unix. The software looks great and is quite user friendly (for a development environment). My biggest concern is the sheer size of the tool and the runtime environment. Among other...
Microsoft Visual C# .NET Standard
from Microsoft.
Its nice to have a sub-100$ entry point to this language. The package is limited in the number of projects you can start with (such as Windows Services), but there is plenty of starter code on the web to get around that. Very nice package for the money.
FileMaker Pro 6
from Filemaker Inc..
FMP 6 is an interesting product. If you take away the buggy ODBC, restricted script language and the thousands of workarounds, which have been created by a loyal usergroup, in order to compensate for a very old and outdated base product, you have a pretty poor means of managing your valuable data. I...
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional Upgrade
from Microsoft.
This studio is leagues beyond the last. Microsoft is easing the burden of developers by simplifying distributed application development using .NET. Sure, for instance, you can go in and manually write the low level COM interface connectors if you prefer to have the "stick shift" control and specific...
Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Standard
from Microsoft.
As with all MSFT software the program has a clean ui, and it is pretty easy to figure out how to do stuff. However, this is the first release of a new version, and the resulting teething problems mean you should pause before purchasing this if you already have a C++ compiler. My primary...
Microsoft MSDN Universal Subscription 7.0
from Microsoft.
This is not a bad product to stay current with Microsoft products and their developer tools. MSDN Universal level subscription contains all of Microsoft's Operating Systems and programming languages. What other comments have neglected to point out is that it is a subscription that runs for one year...
Microsoft MSDN Operating Systems Subscription 7.0
from Microsoft.
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Professional
from Microsoft.
My apologies to Chairman Mao, but I've been using the beta version of VS.Net for several weeks now, and its advances are impressive. For VB programmers, there is a new, fully object-oriented version of the language that stands on an equal footing with C. For C++ programmers, there is C#, which...
REALbasic Standard Edition 4.5
from REAL Software.
Read the other reviews, I feel likewise about REALbasic. Good!
Microsoft MSDN Professional Subcription 7.0
from Microsoft.
Microsoft keeps charging more and more money to let you develop for their operating system. This makes it harder and harder for small developers to be able to deploy applications on their OS. This will eventually lead to their downfall as the lead operating system.
Igrafx Flowcharter 2003 .
from Corel.
FileMaker Pro 6.0
First of all for Mac, users this is your only option for a good reliable, well known database, so I recommend it to them most of all. For PC users however, stay very far away, Microsoft Access has all the tools you need already. Based upon user experience, I think Microsoft Access is much easier,...
FileMaker Pro 6 Upgrade
I had to upgrade to get OS X functionality. Filemaker is the best database program around-- for all-around functionality, ease of use, and rapid deployment. I use Filemaker to run my business from accounting, to tracking, to letterhead and faxes. Now that Filemaker is XML, it's a real contender to...
FileMaker Developer 6.0
from Filemaker Inc..
Crystal Reports 8.5 Developer Edition
from Crystal Decisions.
I don't have the space to convey just how much production time is continually being lost to this abysmally bad product in our shop of senior developers. I could go on for days. Try a little experiment before buying it: go to the CrystalDecisions website and look at some of the most common errors...
Microsoft Visual FoxPro 7.0 Professional
from Microsoft.
I have been working in FoxPro and Visual FoxPro for 7 years now. With each upgrade, FoxPro has only gotten better. With Web Service, IntelliSense, XML, and OLE DB, this is the best yet! I've only been working with for a few days now, but I can't wait to find out what lies in store for me. It's a...
Microsoft MSDN Subscriptions 7.0 Professional Upgrade
from Microsoft.
Very useful for any programmer who uses windows.
Borland C++ Builder 6 Personal
I am very dissapointed of the reviews that this written to this application. C++ Builder is much easier to learn than f.ex. Visual C++. If you are looking for A RAD (Rapid Application Development) solution, then this is your solution. The RAD environment inside this product is great, and very...
FileMaker Pro 6.0 Upgrade
I've been using FileMaker since version 3 -- and this new Version 6 retains its user-friendly interface and commands. But the big improvement is in speed - the speed with which the application launches and the speed at which database files open -- much, much faster than in version 5.0 (in Windows XP...
NS Basic for Palm
from Green Maple.
A terrific product. I would reccomend it to anyone who wants to program at an inexpensive price. The other big companies offer about the same thing, exept NS Basic is a fraction of the price. NS Basic is simple, yet it can produce very sophisticated programs.
Microsoft MSDN Enterprise Subscription 7.0
from Microsoft.
DarkBASIC
from Enteractive, Inc..
DarkBASIC is a programming language based on the easy-to-use BASIC language and compiled in C++, giving you the ability to create great games in a short amount of time, without knowing a pinch of the extremely complicated C++. A truly remarkable product. Also make sure to look at DarkBASIC...
Visual Studio .NET Pro 2002 DVD Training / Reference Library (cardboard sleeve)
from Microsoft.
Just so you all know, it's titled as a DVD but is not. It is a CD. Although it has a lot of information pertaining to the .NET framework, it was not what one would expect. I expected to obtain many tutorials/training sessions, step by step, itemized information. Instead this CD (not DVD) had a...
INSTANT.EXE
from Xelerate.
