>>>Yes. This is a complex question, because there are many FoxPro developers world wide using various version of FoxPro. There are many still using FoxBase, many still using FoxPro 2.x, many still using VFP 3/5/6 but not VFP 7.0. The FoxPro commuity is only a fraction of that total since community means active and partipating members online, conferences, user groups, etc. People using some version of FoxPro is probably 200,000. Delphi has a smaller base world wide than VFP according to my research.

>>Hi Ken & everyone,

>>Numbers are fun. Some people say they don't matter. Regardless, here's some Dice.com nationwide search counts:

>>"Delphi" = 73
>>"FoxPro" = 52
>>"VFP" = 7
>>"Mumps" = 31
>>"Python" = 77
>>"VB" = 1115
>>"Java" = 3533
>>"J2EE" = 1024
>>".NET" = 726

>>Well, there goes the neighborhood. Discussing the relative user bases of FoxPro vs. Delphi seems a bit like arguing the merits of a "14 footer" vs. "a double-wide".

>>And I suspect somewhere along the way, these ad counts eventually translate into $ counts, don't you? ;-)
>>
>>Also I'm wondering what technology from the above list is included in the curriculum of my local training facilities, business schools, college & universities. I don't wanna bother with actually researching this, so does anyone have any estimations about their local experience to share?
>>
>>Don't worry, I'll not attack you for your answer -- and, FYI, I'm not one of the types of persons that will try to tell you that ad/$/curricula counts mean nothing. As for me, my wife, my mortgage, etc., I've decided they hold much meaning.
