I agree with you Ed. I've been learning VC++ in the last few months and have learned a lot more on how Windows work. IMO, this knowledge make me a better VFP/VB/Whatever programmer because I now know better how it work under the hood. I would encourage any novice programmer to first learn to program in VC++ before learning how to use VFP/VB.
