How to learn C# (or maybe VB.NET) and Java and not dying in the attempt.
I found some material:
C#
==
Kevin McNeish Book.
http://foxcentral.net/microsoft/netforvfpdevelopers.htmIt is free.
Also and article at
http://www.mug.org.ar/FoxProGufa/ArticFox/537.aspxWhere is compare some commands of C# and VFP.
Another very good videos and tutorials (Spanish)
http://www.desarrollaconmsdn.com/msdn/Cursos/Curso_Introduccion_a_.NET_con_CSharp/index.htmlThe C# Programming Videos located at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vcsharp/programming/videos/Les Pinter Visual FoxPro to Visual Basic .NET book (
www.pinter.com)
you can download the draft book from there...or buy it
The "problem" with VB.NET is that we avoid all about Visual Basic an all seemed to it, but it is a very good option...we have to be open mind.
JAVA
====
Java main web page
http://java.sun.com/Tutorials
http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/The most famous and used Java IDE's (also JBuilder but it is not free)
A very good free IDE
http://www.netbeans.org/And another IDE sponsored by IBM also free
http://www.eclipse.org/But,
I cannot find nothing on how to do with java what we usually do in VFP
for example:
The equivalent of:
- All the methods and properties of a VFP Form
- How to link a textbox with a table field, where is the ControlSource ?
I propose to create a public web page or a blog page to accomplish that kind of things maybe not only .NET and Java also others lenguajes would be welcome.
Subjects like:
The equivalent of...
Skip, go top, locate etc, all VFP commands !
The controlsource property in Java is...
The codeX to simulate the VFP Keyboard command
How to implement a Grid in C#, Java, LenguageX...
The validate, when, tabstop, etc, etc, properties...
Load, init, keypress etc.
How to migrate to...
It is WANTED VFP programmers with experience with those languages...
