>>VFP is dead and has been for quite a while.

LOL. Lots of things are "dead". WP7 has been shedding senior developers and now its lead has jumped ship- to lead the Amazon Android drive. Some observers now predict that Windows8 will be DOA. Some developers regret learning NET over and over now that they see another Renaissance on the horizon. And Juniper is predicting a huge jump to smartphones by 2016. Meanwhile many (most?) customers still use Windows workstations where "old faithful" VFP plods along, running on practically any hardware, using hardly any machine resource while munging data at lightspeed. Sheesh, I'm with Mike Beane: I moved away from VFP long before many of the prophets, and we've moved quite a lot of stuff to LAMP, but for fat client front ends to interface with customers' existing fat client systems? New doesn't always mean better. I kept encountering situations where VFP made *far* better sense and some of those reasons are stronger than ever today. Seems to me that VFP has outlived more than a few alternatives that were predicted to drive the last nail into its coffin. ;-)

As for this screencast: a) I was uninformed (where was it advertized?) and b) the Class Browser is not something I need to use very often, though it was a marvelous tool in the days when I did use it.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
