I've noted a lot in the northeast and mid-west, and Florida of all places. Los Angeles seems to get a larger share too.

>Good information, I'm surprised there are not more opportunities in California for VFP. I think a lot of the VFP positions are filled by personal connections, so they don't necessarily get posted. It is interesting that you will be more marketable, more highly paid, but far less productive than in VFP.

>>Oh, boy... It is a pretty long time, a few years, I must say. I've bought and learned 3 frameworks in the process of trying to learn .NET, so that obscures it a bit. I am taking a .NET framework framework <g> class next week for 4 days. After that I hope to be able to cobble together relatively sophisticated apps relatively quickly for windows, web and web service/smart clients, and once i've done all that, I just might promote myself to an "Advanced .NET developer". "Expert" level is still far in the future, though. And development speed-wise i will still be far, far behind the development speed that I could achieve using VFP (but then again, I have over 20 years of Fox experience under my belt).
