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.

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.

More on VFP and TFS…Alan Stevens notes that he will be doing a session on VFP and TFS at FoxForward. This looks like a fantastic sessionhttp://foxforward.net/session.php?topic=22It will be interesting to see how many Fox developers take note of this and use it in their own environments…
