Conference Rehearsal Double Header - Thursday, September 8th, 2011 at 18h00
Detroit Area Fox User Group (DAFUG) Double Header:
1) "Data Explorer changes in the works" - German DevCon Rehearsal by Rick Schummer
Rick has been working on some changes for the Data Explorer and has some new extensions he will demonstrate in preparation for his session to be delivered in Germany this November. Rick is also planning a new Data Explorer release around the time of the conference.
2) "VFP Version Control with Mercurial" - Southwest Fox Rehearsal by Rick Borup
Mercurial is a distributed version control system (DVCS) well suited for use with Visual FoxPro application development. While distributed version control systems are based on a decentralized model designed to facilitate team software development, they are also useful for the independent developer who is working solo. Together with the TortoiseHg shell program for Windows, Mercurial offers VFP developers a powerful tool for managing their version control requirements. Come to this session and learn how to integrate Mercurial into your daily VFP development workflow.
You will learn:
-The concepts behind distributed version control systems (DVCS)
-How to install and configure Mercurial and TortoiseHg on a Windows PC
-The unique challenges of using any version control system with VFP
-The basic techniques for using Mercurial with VFP application development
-Advanced techniques to more fully explore the power of Mercurial
2) Anything else people want to talk about.
We are always looking for volunteers and topics.
