Do a demo. Use Rick Strahl's dHTML form Rendering classes to web-ify a VFP form with a grid record selector, tabs, precisely positioned fields, databound dropdowns, etc etc. If possible, take one of your existing forms (test it first!) and expose it as a web page using the above classes.

Then show how you did it- open the VFP form, add a label saying "Hello there!" and move some of the fields around and add another databound field, then run it again. If you have time, get field saving going for a real "wow" experience.

Also familiarise yourself with in-line parsing- the TEXTMERGE capability of VFP and (to a lesser extent) EVAL and &. These were originally intended for merging reports in the text printer days but they are absolutely lovely for web stuff. Try to focus on TEXTMERGE because when I've tried to discuss inline parsing in the past, silly people have focused on EVAL and tried to claim that VB can do the same using VBSCRIPT classes.

Anybody who has any real experience with web cannot help but be impressed by TEXTMERGE and Rick's classes. People with little experience may not appreciate the importance, which is why the demo is such a good thing to do.

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.

-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
