>Hello All:
>this message might seem a little strange. I am trying to devise a plan as to what I would like to learn in FoxPro over the next several months. I have been programming a little more than a year in FoxPro. I have had some experience in Report writing, form design, seeks, scans... the basics. I know it is probably a loaded question but what areas would you suggest a novice programmer to focus on. I understand this also depends on practical use, but generally speaking.

You might try following the curriculum of the Mastering Visual Foxpro CD; it's relatively inexpensive, and hits the salient points in most of the areas.

If you're willing to really pu in the time, try picking up a copy of Jim Booth and Steve Sawyer's Effective Techniques for Application Development with Visual FoxPro 6.0, it covers most of the areas of concern for developers, is one of the best general OOP texts I've seen, especially when considering VFP, and the source code to the examples is available for download if you buy the book. Aside from Hacker's Guide To Visual FoxPro 6.0, I can think of another book I'd rather have on VFP 6, and the Hacker's Guide doesn't teach you about development, it's what many people want to have on-hand instead of FOXHELP.CHM - I think even Jim Nelson would've been happy if MS had shipped an on-line version of Hacker's Guide instead of the current docs...
