To get my head around ASP.NET I gave up on books and went out and took a week long instructor-led course last year.

Give me another 20 years and I'll probably feel as skilled as I feel with VFP now. Of course, give me another 20 years and I'll be just amazed to be still above ground (I turned 50 last week).. :(

Have you looked at Strataframe? I've watched the videos and from what little i've seen, i like it. Charles and others say good things about it from time to time, so its got me interested.

What databases are you using for your apps?
