With VB7 gaining inheritance, learning VB may become a little less of an issue for VFP developers than for VB developers learning how not to abuse it. <s>

There will of course be other issues. As far as those go, I agree with you that a good developer is a good developer. As a good developer, it's less important what language you use than knowing what you need to get done. "What" is always more important than "how". If you know "what" then the correct "how" should be obvious - if not obvious, then it's at least a lot easier to find out.

For those of us that will not be able to make it to Miami this year, will there be a web site up later for us to see what we're missing?

What forum? I'd be interested.
