From the VFP 6.0 book:
You've been through a couple of intro books, perhaps worked with the samples some. Maybe even struggled through a small application. Now it's time for a pair of industry veterans to guide you through industrial strength application development. Visual FoxPro provides more different ways of doing things than any 5 other development products put together. Deciding which features and techniques are appropriate for a particular situation isn’t always obvious. Let Jim and Steve share with you the insights acquired through a combined 7 years of experience with Visual FoxPro.
Updated for VFP 9.0:
When I was contacted and asked to update this book for the latest version of
Visual FoxPro I thought about a number of new possibilities that could be
included in the revision. Originally we wanted this book to be more than simply
a programmer’s guide to Visual FoxPro. We wanted it to contain the types
of information that one only gets through experience, through actually using
Visual FoxPro to build applications. We also wanted the lessons in this book to
be applicable to other development languages besides Visual FoxPro.
In planning and writing the revision I have tried very hard to keep with that original
plan. Although there is a lot of Visual FoxPro specific information in the book,
there are also discussions that transcend any particular development tool or language.
Interestingly
much of the original content of the book remains here as it was, simply
updated for syntax changes or new commands that reduce the code size.
I have to give thanks to a number of people who were very helpful in getting this
project to its completion. First I thank Marcia Akins for her contribution of the
chapter covering the report writer. Next I thank Laurie Darth for her excellent copy
editing (any errors in the final text are purely mine). I’d like to thank Rainer Becker
and his entire team at dFPUG c/o ISYS GmbH for their hard work and full support
especially Tina Flieher-Ojen. I may be the author listed on the cover but all of these
people have had a critical role in this book being completed.
