I was foxpro person for a long time as well. But when my compnay gave me the chance to do DBA/SQL/PL?SQL developement I jumped at it and it's been great. Although I'm still doing some Foxpro in the pinch, I'm doing more and more PL/SQL and I can't be any happier.
As for job market, Oracle is everywhere and so is SQL Server.
>While I'm looking for another Foxpro contract, what would be the most marketable language for an old coder to learn? I like HTML/Javascript type stuff, but most of my experience is Foxpro. I know this will open up some debate, but I'm really not looking for anything very deep on comparisons and how this one handles strings better than that one; just what do you think would be a good direction to go so I can minimize my time between contracts/jobs.
