To get productive quickly you might consider a framework. I taught the Visual Fox Express training course for years and produced 30 hours of CDs that walk you through the creation of two complete apps step by step. They are designed for exactly what you're talking about. A lot of people found that useful to learn how to pull it all together and get something working quickly while the framework handles a lot of stuff you might not think of or might not want to get bogged down in right now while you work on solving the business problem first.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
