>>>[Monty Python voice] Luxury! - try getting it in the U.K.: we get plenty of other (non-UK) programming magazines, the subjects of which seem more obscure than VFP (eh?). Shame FPA couldn't be combined with, say, a VB magazine, then we'd have a chance [fire extinguisher at the ready].

>>I disagree that this would be useful. There is a magazine here in the US called Visual Programmer, that, IMO, is not useful. It is trying to be too many things to too many people and ends up not serving anyone. Imagine a magazine that caters to Delphi, VB, PowerBuilder, Access, and a few other languages. Mix everything together, and you get something that isn't very useful.

>What would everyone think of a Visual Studio magazine? With three major languages (VB, VC, VFP), and the internet development tools (VJ, VI), it would be great if there was one source of informtion dedicated to using all of the parts together. Have regular pieces on each language every month, plus a monthly highlight on one tool (VB in March, VFP in April, etc). Finally, have an ongoing application which uses all of the tools. By ongoing, I mean the development cycle starts one month, and every month more work is done on it. by the end of the year (or whatever time frame), the project is done. Talk about a marketing tool for Microsoft! What better way to show how all the parts come together than to actually DO IT?

Actually, if all you need is a newsletter, the MSDN on-line newsletter is useful.
