>>>I have looked at those. People here are strongly endorsing the Hacker's Guide, Effective Techniques by Booth and Sawyer, and Rick Strahl's Internet book, which I thought wasn't out yet. Is that the same book mentioned on the West Wind site? Has Mr. Strahl written more than one book relating VFP to the web and updated for vfp 6, or is it all the same book? Have we any strong endorsements for the other books in that group?

>>>One concern of mine is the quality of the English. Grammar errors tend to bother me. Two of the books were written by Markus Eggar, who isn't a native English speaker. The help menu that came with GenRepoX made me wonder about this. I intend no offence to Mr. Eggar. GenRepoX is free, and has been more useful to more people than many products that cost money. The help menu that comes with it is still more useful than much of the more grammatically correct stuff that Microsoft provides. Also, I haven't looked at it in over a year.

>>Rick's book is not out yet. I think it is at the printer's and is due out in 2 or 3 weeks. I believe this is the first book for Rick. I would not be too concerned about grammar with respect ot these books because they are also reviewed by an editor.

>The Hentzenwerke site doesn't mention that it isn't out yet. I guess they expect to take orders now and deliver when its ready.

>I am now looking at West Wind. I have no knowledge of HTML. The West Wind docs recommend some HTML knowledge. Do you think Rick's book will impart that basic knowledge, or assume it? What would be a good book for learning HTML?
The Hentzenwerke site clearly mentions that the book is on pre-release and printing is expected on some date too. See
