Legacy Projects

The legacy project I am working on right now is in Core PHP/jquery. No Framework, Just Core PHP.

Sorry man, PHP is awful in all of its forms ;p

Pisses me off when (in this case, my own project that is being resurrected from 6 years ago) uses third party dependencies from DevExpress and Divelements, and now, trying to install the exact DevExpress version from then, my registration key is no longer valid. And Divelements keeled over in 2013, and of course their online registration doesn't work either. Not to mention that even their DLL, when installing it as "evaluation", does with
Invalid pointercompiler error. Then there's the usual nightmare of .NET version. This code was built with .NET 2.0 and 3.5, neither of which I have installed (I only have 4.5 - 4.6.1), so got to fix all the framework references in a bunch of projects. I suppose there's a utility to do that, maybe even VS2015 has a function for that, but I didn't bother looking. So far, I've got 2 of the 4 applications running - the server app and the schema designer. The form designer is a b*tch because of the DevExpress and Divelements references, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that upgrading the DX references to their latest works, but I'm a pessimist. The Divelements Sandock thing will be a PITA, I'll probably have to replace it with the open source WeifenLuo docking manager, or, IIRC, .NET exposes their docking system now. And of course I get a bunch of deprecation warnings on the Oracle .NET references, but the stuff still works. Though figuring out the tnsnames.ora was a blast to the past, NOT! Word to the wise - when you archive a project, create a VM and put everything there, and make sure it all compiles and builds in the VM. I did that, creating a VM, and the VM still worked, but I appear to never have tried compiling the code. :doh: :sigh: :mad: at myself. MarcImperative to Functional Programming Succinctly Contributors Wanted for Higher Order Programming Project! Learning to code with python is like learning to swim with those little arm floaties. It gives you undeserved confidence and will eventually drown you. - DangerBunny

When I work on legacy stuff, I often call myself a "software mechanic" instead of software engineer. :-D

You must be close to declaring a code base obsolete and redeveloping a replacement? I suppose, now that I think of it every live project should be reviewed every six months to ensure it is viable. Next you'll be saying you have to install your application to your development system so that you can build it.
