>I kind of read your messages as an encouragement. Thank you.

One has to remember that the Visual FoxPro users, especially those who went very far into that, have created new ways of doing things, as far as database model and ways of managing that data. While there has always been something before, at the beginning of the '90s, we took a major jump ahead. It didn't came as a surprise that one day, someone went into Dr. Fulton's office with a proposal. I still remember the date and everything which related to that. While, at first, we saw this as a major breakthrough in the ongoing evolution of the product, years later, we came to realize it was the technology which was bought, Rushmore, and some things related to that, mostly, and the product itself ceased to be supported.

But, those guys were pretty smart, really highly impressive innovators in their field. And, I make reference to the best actors we have on our site, as they used it at one point or another, and many still do.

I still remember the courses I attended from Yair Alan Griver, Tamar Granor, Doug Hennig, Rick Strahl, just to name a few, and what I mostly learned during lunches and dinners. It only took one event to realize I had to attend all the upcoming ones.

I have to say that most of them were far ahead of their time. I do not know if this is what FoxPro and Visual FoxPro earlier versions came, as far as possibility and flexibilities, but I know some of the biggest applications of this world were built in Fox. The "Tunnel", "Application Desert Storm", and what about Ken Levy, considered as the best programmer of the Universe, who arrived in Phoenix, if I recall correctly, and demonstrated the LADP touch screen application, in 1993 if I recall correctly. Yes, I mentioned touch screen, very far ahead of time.

New methodologies and advanced techniques is what they have provided as far as inheritance from their achievements and courses for so many years. Today, the core learning material I have learned relies on that.
