VFPX, one of the active open source projects hosted on CodePlex, has some terrific tools to enhance the Visual FoxPro Interactive Development Environment (IDE) and components to impress your customers in the applications you write for them. This session covers some of the recent updates and additions to VFPX in 2013.
We are going to cover as many of these tools as time allows:

- Flexible on-the-fly forms with Dynamic Forms
- Enhancing IntelliSense with FoxcodePlus
- Polishing the user interface with ssClasses
- Build Excel files without Microsoft Office or OpenOffice using FoxyXLS
- What is new with the mighty Thor!
- Playing GoFish with your text searches
- Sniffing out bad smelling code with updated Code Analyst
This session can fluctuate between deep dives and overviews, depending on audience needs.
Note: this list is subject to changes based on the releases by VFPX project managers.
You will learn:
- What is new in VFPX in 2013
