Good question

I know many people that are creating new apps in VFP. But this is better answered by looking at your customers. Do they want desktop apps? Web apps? Mobile apps? If web or mobile, I wouldn't go with VFP. If desktop, the answer is "it depends". Are you willing to bet that VFP will continue to run on Windows in 10+ years? Are they small companies? If yes, then VFP may be a good solution, but so will lots of other technologies. If no, most large corporations don't want to see VFP.


>I know VFP, i am not an expert, but i know and i develope a simple Client Server application with SQL server i created visual classes too.
>3 years ago i started to study and develope some small applications .NET and SQL Server in my spare time
>What makes me feel bad is after more than 4 years of reading books, forums, and many many hours of programming in VFP , finally in 2006 Microsoft decided to not release more versions of VFP, i felt like my time was wasted

>In these last weeks i am amazed that in www.codeplex.com or webpages of german users or other companies make it possible not only to program in VFP like always, but we can develope web with silverlight, mobile applications, and in codeplex i foudn a tool very useful that imporve vfp reports, EASILY!!!

>It would be a good decision using my knowledge that i have in VFP, to START developing commercial applications for companies, or even develope a VFP framework for my use or use one, because those software can be competitive with oher languages for at least next 10 years?
>Or better giving more importance in programming with .NET?
