Evan,

A very good idea! Here's a tip for anyone wanting to write for CoDe Magazine:

While our distribution includes a very large number of VFP programmers, we also go beyond that to reach a wide range of others, including those focused on VB, .NET languages, XML, Web Development, and SQL Server DBA's.

I think some of our best articles recently have been those that explain a technology in-depth (such as Queued Components, Loosely-Coupled Events, etc) and illustrate with code samples in VFP and C#, or VFP and VB. The VFP people get to learn the other languages by comparison of the code, and the other people get to see what VFP can do!

While we do regularly run VFP-only articles, we also place high priority on multi-language examples. It's just a bit of a challenge finding authors who can handle that, so I'm all ears for anyone who wants to propose something...
