I just got back from a weekend in San Diego at their code camp. If you don't know, it's a free developers conference over the weekend. I mentioned this thread to several folks I talked to over the weekend. Lets just say their reaction involved some form of laughter.

There were several sessions I attended that involved the presenter using a smart client app he had developed/was developing as the basis for his talk. Some very, very cool stuff.

I was just the same until I finally got my a$$ into gear, learned new technologies and overnight lost the fear of VFP "going west". It all becomes so clear when you finally crawl out of the Fox Box.
