>Very well. How then do you explain the volumes of books and articles that have been on the market with respect to VB and n-tier development? There is much more work published on doing N-Tier development in other tools than in VFP.

You got it! VB developers require A LOT of books to work. VFP developers require to read 1 public WEB site and go.

>Specifcally, why does the belief exists that VFP developers have an easier time grasping this stuff? I see the work that is being done in VB, and quite frankley, I am very impressed.

Because way of thinking. Not too complex, as for C++ developers, and not too simple, as for VB developers.

>I reject the notion that VFP developers in some way, have an advantage, a secret weapon if you will, that other developer's don't have.

No, not a secret weapon. And no advantage in TOOLs. BUT, advantage in intellectual side. The main weapon of all developers is just a THINKING.
AND, when someone say that VFP developers should be out of development, he/she probably not a developer. Because way of thinking.
