>Hi Mike,

>I have worked with Fp 2.6 and VFp 3.0 and they are great products. Unfortunately I had to move to vb (buyer's choice:) and also there were not many jobs as vfp developer. I have mixed feelings about .net. I attended a seminar and the emphasys was on c# as the language of choice for .net development. And since c# looks very close to java , why not learn java too?:)

mmm. I agree. VB will always have a fair amount of market share (whether it's VB6 or .NET) but will never become as widely accepted as C++ or Java (which I understand is rather "C"-like). VFP and Delphi are niche markets so you're not going to be overwhelmed by job offerings using these tools although they will always have some opportunities. C# may or may not become a sought after skill. I recall how much MS was pushing J++ and now look where it is.
