Two of the mini-highlights of the conference were the OzFox Lite promo and keynote by Craig Boyd. I’ve now copied both up to the web site for your enjoyment. The promo is roughly 3MB and can be found here. The opening keynote is 22MB and can be found here. Visual FoxPro Rocks! Enjoy. There are other links being added as well (check out the News page) www...
UPDATE: Threader code and presentation links are now available from my Threader page. Not sure why the previous post got chopped, but here it is again… The code from my session on simulating multi-threading in VFP (Visual FoxPro) is available from my Threader page the OzFox site (go to the Session descriptions page here and scroll to the bottom). I had a whole bunch of suggestions over...
The code from my session on simulating multi-threading in VFP is available from the OzFox site (go to the Session descriptions page here and scroll to the bottom). I had a whole bunch of suggestions over the weekend to improve it, so I may update this in the coming weeks. Also, check out the great OzFox Lite promo (that Craig Boyd put together) shown in the opening session of...
Developers around Australia and New Zealand, you should be making your way to one of the code camps coming up in late April. For Australian devs I can wholeheartedly recommend CodeCampOz, co-organised by Greg Low, one of our speakers at OzFox Lite. I was there last year and can tell you it is a great place to learn about .Net, SQL Server and BizTalk. I anticipate this year’s Code Camp...

I’m writing this at the end of the first day of OzFox Lite. Andrew Coates is in the home stretch of his talk on VFP and SQL Express. After this we head out to dinner and then some Xbox 360 action (yes Microsoft have come through with a 360!). All in all I am extremely pleased with the first day. Greg Low kicked us off with an overview of the great developer tools in SQL...
A great post by Cesar Chalom referring to code from Brazilian Gelson Bremm. post has code for using VFP to capture screen portions via Win 32 calls. No other controls required. Cesar has been putting out a bunch of GDI+ articles over the last 2 months. Well worth checking out.;
Yes, only a few days to go until OzFox.www.ozfox.com.au I guess if you’ve been reading my blog then you don’t need reminding about all the great stuff that is happening at the conference. But in case you are looking for a quick summary of reasons to come (say, to tell a friend), then here are my top reasons to attend: 1. SessionsWe have Australia’s two Microsoft...
Andy’s articles are one of the reasons I like blogs so much. These days most of my learning comes from blogs due to their easily readable, small bite, immediately available format. I find the published formats less attractive these days (sadly I usually have a pile of FoxTalks, Advisors and other mags gathering dust on my desk). But that is a discussion for another day… Back...
I know I’m a bit late on this one (yep, way behind on my blogs) but I agree with Alex Feldstein that this is pretty funny. favourite comment however was the note about using TRUNCATE TABLE to shorten the name of tables. Priceless!(I added my comment at the end of the post too.)
