When modernization becomes unavoidable
Modernization becomes unavoidable when every change costs too much, every release feels dangerous, and the software holds the company back instead of supporting it. At that point you need method, progressive migration, and technical decisions that reduce risk without stopping the business.
Key technologies for leaving legacy behind
- Why migrate from VB6 — risk and cost analysis of VB6 legacy
- VB.NET — transition language for progressive migrations from VB6
- Visual Basic — legacy language still in use in many business applications
- .NET — target platform for migrations from .NET Framework and VB6

Martin Fowler - Strangler Fig Application

Michael Feathers - Legacy code

Gregor Hohpe - Architecture for complex systems
