          See how to:
          * To plan for your own application migration by getting an overview of the .NET migration process
          * To plan for re-factoring your code to lessen the impact of not supported features
          * Performance differences between the platforms might impact your existing code
          * GUI differences between the platforms might impact your code

• Future proofing your code, planning for today, tomorrow and beyond.

      The .NET and Classic platforms are intrinsically different. A large application that took seconds to modify and test in the IDE will takes many minutes to modify and test in the .NET IDE. In order to continue at a high productivity level you must partition your code into a series of related .NET assemblies.
