>We have a brand new developer (yikes), completely new to VFP, and database development too. We're using VFP 6.0 SP3. So, in searching for books here's a list of what we've come up with so far for him to wade through:

>1. Using Visual Foxpro 6.0 Special Edition (Bazian/Booth).
>2. Effective Techniques for Application Development with Visual Foxpro 6.0 (Sawyer/Booth).
>3. Hacker's Guide to Visual Foxpro 6.0 (Granor/Roche).

>So, my question: Is this a good path for a new guy? We're a little concerned about #1, because of reviews we read on Amazon about that particular title, although the "Using Visual Foxpro 5.0 Special Edition (Antonovich, et. al.)" has great reviews. Any comments, suggestions, etc. would be appreciated.

Mark,

Get him to the User Group!!! It is an extremely valuable tool. We have VFP beginner's group every month. The next meeting is tonight. Rather that get into all the details here, go to http://members.home.net/foxpro/slcfug for more information. BTW, are you on the membership/notification list? If you want more information, feel free to call me.
