A great show from Andrew MacNeill with an interview of Rod Miller from dbi-Tech. There are a couple of points that grabbed my attention: 1. dbi-Tech are not after a quick bit of marketing, and Rod is no dummy. He is obviously a considered businessman, so a decision to embrace the VFP community (or to continue to) is not to be dismissed as some off-hand thing – they have...
Another informative day at CodeCampOz. The day kicked off with a chat from Paul Glavich about Atlas and some general discussion of Ajax functionality. This was an excellent introduction for me about the details under the covers (my understanding of Atlas had been sketchy at best up until then). Paul is an extremely likeable speaker and yes, I will be buying 3 or 4 copies of your book...

Christ Sainty blasts onto the blogosphere with some impressive posts: works at Quids, the company who developed the web site and back end systems powering Harris Technology (Australia’s biggest consumer IT site). All written in FoxPro ofcourse.That’s right, Australia’s biggest online IT consumer webstore is all running on FoxPro.
Rahul has a nice little piece on some of his previous work experience with Visual FoxProhttp://nationalcom.com/serendipity/ Yes, VFP is amazing… (And if you caught my earlier post pointing to Rahul’s blog – since removed – then my apologies. He was still testing it for format handling and I announced it too soon.)
Good to see that the Fox community is not the only one noticing the surge in VFPhttp://farm.tucows.com/blog/_archives/2006/4/17/1892314.html
I use Crazy Browser as my browser (it is an IE wrapper). A few people have asked about it, so here’s the link: is freeware and pretty good in my opinion. I haven’t done any comparison of browsers, nor am I am actually recommending it. However I have used it for years and have had no problems. (And thanks to Eka who put me onto it years ago)
Great to see a few more Australian companies have added their details to the Fox Wiki page: case you missed it, at OzFox Lite we were trying to get a list of Australian FoxPro development companies compiled. And I’m hoping someone will take the lead in New Zealand as well. So, please add your details if you haven’t already.
I’m pleased to remind you that we will have Adam Cogan speaking at the Sydney VFP User Group this month.

In his session at UG he will be taking us through the second half of his session ie Rules to Successful Projects Part 2. See you there in 2 weeks time. Mark it...
