Upcoming articles on C7, Clarion.NET, and more

Any time I come back from vacation I expect a busy week or two, but this time around was a bit busier than most. The ClarionMag web server, which had been exhibiting some small signs of instability, began crashing several times a day while I was still three days drive from home. Switching to a new server at a time of crisis is always a hassle, if for no other reason than it takes time for the DNS changes to propagate. With the main server limping along and needing frequent reboots, I got the backup server ready. At the last moment my ISP found a motherboard problem and offered to swap the RAID array into a new server. Once again everything is (I trust) rock solid.

I have a full slate of articles lined up for September, but due to time I spent on server issues they won't start showing up until next week. Topics include (but are not limited to) compiling C6 applications in C7, more on PostgreSQL, and how language changes in Clarion.NET will affect your development (there's a whole lot of very interesting Clarion.NET info in the C7 help file).

Meanwhile CSP members are digging into the first beta release, and we're all hoping to get the data diagrammer shortly. I'll have a report on that new Enterprise Edition tool as soon as I can - meanwhile you may want to read Bob Zaunere's blog post on the subject and watch the movie.
