RE: Programming where to go next?

["Walden H. Leverich" <WaldenL@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tim,

As others have suggested, don't bother w/the "old" tools, use the PC
front ends to do development. However, I'll go one step further. Do you
need green-screen apps at all? Are you perhaps better off learning
browser-based development and deploying all your new applications as web
apps?

Subject: Programming where to go next?

Newbie help required!

I can do some simple programming using a combination of CL / SQL / and
QRY
to do some basic reporting. My only other experience in programming is
using
MS Access and vba. In the software package we use there is a menu editor
that allows me to change our main apps menus, or create new menus, to
call
programs that I've created. That's how I have our users run anything
I've
done so far. I need help grasping how to build my own screens and
display
files, 'I think that's what I need', so I can create reports based on
user
defined variables etc...

Could anyone recommend a book, website tutorial, or anything that could
help
me with what I need to do next.

TIA,
