>I hope you're right. Of course your perception may be scewed ( how the heck to you spell scewed - i.e. slanted - no r ) in that an inordantly high percentage of VFP users probably by *your* books < g >


skewed (ever the editor <g>)

Certainly, among VFP book buyers, mine do better than most. But I still think those buying books are a tiny fraction of those using the product.

>Though it does make you wonder how serious developers are if they are not buying books, subscribing to mags, attending conferences or participating in the on-line stuff. I know a few "developers" in that category and I find it hard to take them seriously and find their skills *really* sub-standard.

Yeah, I don't think the best developers behave this way. But there are an awful lot out there. (And "awful" may, in fact, be a good choice of adjective. <g>) Unfortunately, a lot of individuals and a lot of companies are very shortsighted about resources.
