Hi Victor,

That's interesting, however, I think that for a considerable chunk of the vfp users, these are important topics.

I realize that it seems ironic to find sessions on how to move AWAY from vfp in a vfp-oriented conference, but for those of us who are indeed interested in migrating or in learning a new tool, I don't think that anything compares to being able to receive this information from lecturers who are very well versed in vfp. For example, if you go to a .net-specific conference and sit at a "how to move to vb.net" session, this will be geared for vb6 developers and the information given there may be either boring or irrelevant to a vfp developer.

Those sessions are there because the organizers of the show have been convinced that they're relevant. Just like they were convinced at the Miami devcon that a 2hour keynote and then another 4 hours in a single session about the then-very-abstract .net were of interest to the audience.

>Interesting that out of the 25, 8 or 9 of them don't even deal with VFP or are teaching you how to get rid of VFP all together and migrate to something else. C# for VFP developers, VB.NET for VFP developers, ASP.NET for VFP developers....hahahha
>Perhaps instead of VFP DevCon it should of been called VFP DeathCon or VFP DeathWatch or something like that. I doubt we'll get the yearly preview of the next VFP that we normally get, instead we'll hear about all the great things that Visual Studio has in it that were taken from VFP.
