I'm self taught from the previous version and must admit I never paid much attention to naming conventions and the sort. Now I want to learn the proper way of programming. I've read the developers guide a couple of times and went cover to cover with VFP 3 Unleashed(a couple times!). Here is what I need, as a self taught programmer...We all know the TASTRADE program, well, I tore that program apart piece by piece and pretty much understand the direction they're leading me in, but let's get serious, I really need to DEVELOPE that program to REALLY understand it! A toutorial that will take me by the hand, explain how, when, why, and where to put my code with neat little explanations of each. Are there any example programs out there that I can read to further my understanding and methods of

Get your hands dirty. You will never learn until you blunder. Like an electronics tech buddy of mine said -- 'you ain't never lived until you plug a chip in backwards (smoke...) (s)'

Seriously, find a simple first app & do it. You will hate it when your done most likely but you will learn more then by any book.

HTH,
Tom
