>Recently I heard a well known figure in the Foxpro community make this statement:

>"Foxpro programmers are not computer science graduates"

>I have a degree in computer science, am I the only one? Could I get a show of hands (of pixels?) of who has what kind of computer background?

I too have a degree in computer science (though the name for it is a bit different here). This statement is NOT correct and irritating. As a FoxPro programmer we have acces to very advanced techniques and to take full advantage of the programming techniques a degree is certainly a big help. To develop user and programmer friendly applications you must have some theorectic base to start from.

Maybe not all of use are computer graduates, but I will reject that the vast majority are a bunch of bunglers ??

May we ask who this person was ???
