Thursday, November 20, 2014
Detroit Area Fox User Group (DAFUG) presents:
1) “VFPX.Edition("2014")” by Rick Schummer of White Light Computing, Inc.
VFPX, one of many 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 2014.
We are going to cover as many of these tools as time allows. We'll:
-Explore the Data Explorer enhancements
-Determine how FoxBin2PRG fits in the binary source code flattening space
-Generate Excel files without Microsoft Office or OpenOffice using ExcelXML
-Get a quick overview of changes to the mighty Thor!
-See the value of Finder and how it has become a legitimate project manager replacement
-Peek at the FoxCharts enhancements that make charting in your applications easy
...and more as the year progresses.
The session will vary between deeper dives and overviews depending on conference attendee needs and the work by the VFPX project managers as the year progresses.
Note, this list is subject to changes based on the releases by VFPX project managers and what other presenters want to talk about at the conference.
You will learn:
-What is new in VFPX in 2014
-How VFPX is going to make a developer's life easier
-Where to get all the new goodness
-Why it is more important than ever to get involved in VFPX
2) Along with anything else people want to talk about.
