"Show Me The Code" / "How To" session covering all the basics of rapidly building Windows applications using Visual FoxPro

This session is geared toward working programmers.
· Programmers with an understanding of FoxPro 2.6 will get an eye opening look at the features new to Visual FoxPro.
· Programmers already working with Visual FoxPro will gain an enhanced understanding of how to simplify development using Visual FoxPro's object orientation and how to harness the awesome power of Visual FoxPro's database features.
· Programmers coming from another language will understand what Visual FoxPro is and how to use it for rapid database development.

The session format will be as follows:
· Review database features and use Rules, Triggers, and Stored Procedures to build some smarts into a database.
· Build a smart form that knows how to save, cancel, delete, etc.
· Re-use the smart form as a re-usable base class and discuss both the joys and pitfalls of object oriented development.
· Look at Visual FoxPro Views and how to use them for easy parent-child database development.
· If time permits, wrap up with how to build a complete Visual FoxPro application.

Full speaker notes and several very useful Visual FoxPro base classes will be distributed to all attendees.
