Yes and no. I came to VFP from Powerbuilder and VB, and I found that some tihngs were very hard to get a grasp on just because the answers were hard to find. (That changed when I found UT).

The VFP data manipulatoin language might be hard for other developers to get a handle on. It took me a while to get the concept of SKIP and work areas down. It was weeks before I figured out that you can close a table with USE.


>Without object oriented programming VFP is not all that hard to learn. The steep learning curve is when you learning OOP for the first time. With VFP you are not required to learn OOP to develop software but it will pay off immensely if you do.

Agreed.

>P.S. I think your english is better than mine.

Evan, your english is good enough that I didn't know until reading this message that it wasn't your native language.
