>I got some fabulous news at work today. As you know, I have been trying for some time to make the switch to .NET (or at least add it to the employable skill set). As you also know, I am on a 6 month VFP / SQL Server contract, with some VB 6 and Access apps added to the mix since I started. Today my boss, who had already told me they would like to hire me, with the caveat that there are budget issues, took me aside. He said one of the .NET developers gave her two week notice yesterday and they are very interested in hiring me to take her place, possibly still giving some of my time to the VFP app. Probably a lot more .NET than VFP. The justification for my 6 month contract was a large backlog of bugs and enhancements, which is already most of the way completed. The other two developers I work with are hard core VFP and SQL Server guys with no apparent inclination to change. Nothing is official yet, and in fact there has been no formal job offer or salary discussion. It sure looks promising, though. Wish me luck!

Good luck:) And it is a very good timing. VS2010 release is very soon (that can make you love XAML:).
