Another point, not always made when saying that there are tons of books for VB/C++/etc. but only 2 or none for VFP, is the quality of those books. If you see 30 books on VB (not an unreasonable number in a big tech bookstore), odds are that most of them are copycats, overlap each other and their quality is suspect. Many have been rushed to market, to make a buck. In many cases they are based on betas (that happens with all versions that came out of VB, C++, Delphi, not to mention XML) so their contents are not even accurate many times.
Contrast that with the quality of the VFP books published by Hentzenwerke. They take care to keep a high standard and not to repeat subjects.
