Absolutely. Codemine fits seamlessly in to the VFP development environment and very simply guides you through the maze that is VFP. It has some very powerfull features but does not force you away from what is good about Fox. The power is in the way it extends VFP and not in a bunch of wizards and builders that accompany many frameworks.

The manual is good and to the point. Whilst it is about 400 pages, they are small pages <s>. Also, many of the pages are simply explanations of methods, properties and events of the many classes within Codemine. Therefore, you can skim over a lot of the content and only refer to it when required during development. I have read the book 3-4 times and I find it very helpfull and not at all difficult to read.

To be honest, I don't think Codemine is marketed that well because if it was, I believe there would be considerably more users. With Codemine you get what you think you are paying for - development power. Simple.
