Search for Developers

[Greg Sergeant]

There used to be a way to search for developers on the DataAccess
website. I can't find it on the new website. Anyone know if it is
still available?

Thanks
Greg

Greg, that hasn't been maintained for a long time now. I called all the
listing of developers for Michigan and none of them exist or are doing VDF
work. I think that all of them only did DF work and never VDF. I had asked
almost everyone at DAC to try and get my name on the list, but nothing ever
happened.

The only way to keep a list up-to-date is to have it be fee based.

Thanks David. Any ideas on how to find VDF developers in my area? How
did you do it?

Do you think there is a need for this service?

I did it back before the DAC website was redone.

Sure.

Maybe even put a post on Monster.com and make sure it is searchable by
Google and Yahoo... DAC can provide a link to it from their website.

You could charge $1.00 a year for a simple listing.

I can see how it could be handy. If someone has a DF/VDF app and needs
support or updating, they would probably start at the Dataflex website.
At least I probably would.

An out of work developer who wants to see who in his area may be a
potential employer.

I could probably think of a couple more.

You can always post a message that asks for VDF developers in a given area.
Most of the ones you would actually want to deal with probably frequent the
groups...

Which group would be acceptable to post such a question?

ie: Are there any VDF developers in the ??? area?

Hi Greg,

the Jobs newsgroup would be appropriate.

I asked the marketing people at DAW for a list of VDF developers in my
area (Minnesota) due to my client's concern for what would happen if I
got hit by a truck. Unfortunately, in my case they were unable to find
any active VDF developers in Minnesota. (The client insists on a local
presence.) The client has therefore decided to have their custom
application re-written in another language (probably .NET). The good
news (??) is that they want me to learn .NET and do the programming
since I know their system best. (I haven't decided yet if that's good
news or not. I'd prefer staying in the DataFlex - and VDF - world.)

Or we could ask Wil to start a new group in his news server... I think most
of us read his stuff as well ;)
(if not, you should!)

The point is to get more visibility. No need for anything new if we expect
everyone to find us here in the NG. What I am hoping for is something that
can be found from a google search, or a link from the DAW website because
not everyone comes here. We just need a yellow pages listing.
