[THIN] Re: Developing TS-aware apps?

I have worked with a few developers over the years - helping them to
make their apps run under Citrix (WinFrame on up) and the best piece
of advice that you can try to drive home to any developer is to use
proper environment variable calls.

Machine level environment variables vs user level environment variables.
(which is appropriate to use where and when)

I have observed that it is very common for deadlines to cause
developers to hardcode paths to executables, rely on dll's to be
copied to system32, to use machine level variables where they should
be using user level variables (or no variables at all).  All of which
can cause potential headaches - especially with temp files and the
like.

Everything else generally depends on the development studio that is
used, or the language written in.

We (well, I) am anticipating that one of our "serious" home-grown apps
is going to get hosted on our PS 4 Citrix servers here in the future. A
moderate rewrite of parts of the application is already planned, but the
developers have no background in writing TS-aware apps, and I'd like to
point them to a few resources for them to get familiar with developing
apps for that platform. Can any of you recommend sources of information
that would make sense to a developer about best practices for developing
software for a multi-user server environment?
