I personally think that the days of programming everything yourself are numbered whether that is VFP or .NET. The future of developing database apps is much more in development environments like WinDev, Servoy, Lianja and others. Those application frameworks are much more productive as the provisions of e.g. cross platform, windows/browser development, support for tablet/smartphones, security, cloud based computing etc come out of the box. Sure there will be applications that are more suitable from ground up but I'm convinced the majority will be written in such application development platforms. And rather than worrying about the datatypes to keep the compiler happy, focus will be much more on the what? rather than how?
