Frameworks (Con’t from page 7)

development and maintenance efficiency are

concerned, some would argue that it also prevents

us from learning these complex issues that may be

important for us to know at some poinCThere also

is the issue of needing to wait for the application

framework vendor to upgrade their product when a

new FoxPro version arrives (or perhaps switching to

a different vendor’s product because our chosen

vendor fails to bring an upgrade to market). Lastly,

you have to deal with merging your changes to the

framework with the vendor’s next upgrade.

For many developers, I feel that the advantages of

using application frameworks will outweigh the

disadvantages.
