We've had a number of requests for an east coast venue for our training class, so here it is!

Oak Leaf Enterprises announces a new 5-day hands-on training course designed to help VFP developers get up to speed quickly on .NET by teaching its principles through the perspective of Visual FoxPro. Our first class will be held in Charlottesville, VA, May 6-10.

Why a .NET training class for VFP developers?

Visual FoxPro is one of the best Microsoft tools for creating desktop, client-server, and Web applications. However, although you can "do it all" with VFP, it would be a mistake to ignore .NET. Microsoft has put a lot of resources into making .NET a revolutionary platform for creating software. This class is a must for VFP developers who need to keep up with the direction Microsoft is taking with its software development tools. On one front, Microsoft has committed to advancing Visual FoxPro and has already begun work on the next version, code-named "Toledo". VFP continues to be a great tool for software development and can be used with great success in many projects. On the other front, Microsoft has created .NET. It is an excellent addition to a VFP developer’s arsenal, and should definitely be considered for current and future projects.

In addition, C# is a great second language for Visual FoxPro developers to learn and it’s the primary language we use in our .NET classes. It’s an elegant language that was designed from scratch to work with .NET and takes advantage of the most recent advancements in object-oriented programming.
