>Would the VFP6.0 training videos would be worth the company's investment? While UT answers most of my direct questions/problems, i think it'd be nice to do more proactive learning. My boss will inevitably have to maintain the app I write if/when i leave this company, and while proficient with Fox2.6, knows nothing about VFP. Since i don't take useful (to anyone but me) notes, it would seem the tapes would be a better approach. Any thoughts/comments?

Are you a software developer by trade? Is that your career? Or are you a subject matter expert who also writes Fox apps?

If writing software is your career/passion, you and your boss may get the most bang for the buck by your studying up on some of the language-generic professional software development practices.

I doubt if the AppDev training will teach you which documentation is considered "bare minimum." If you document your project correctly, and follow some of the standards that professional developers follow, your boss can either maintain the app himself, or hire a consultant to maintain it. Regardless, I don't think anyone's videos are going to replace the worth of good, sound project artifacts.

If you haven't already, try out some of Steve McConnell's books. Code Complete, Rapid Software Development. You might also look in the FoxWiki or ask around here what some of the experts consider the absolute minimum amounts of documentation to include in a project.

I hope this helps. I know I didn't answer your question directly.
