Attendance at all conferences, not just VFP or computers is down. Available computer jobs in all areas are down. It just a VFP thing, it's across the board.

Steven Black recently posted a notice on the Wiki that he's seeing an increased demand for VFP developers.

Now, having said that...I think it's a good idea to learn other tools, technologies, and skills.

>In my opinion it is a major blunder. Check out the programming indices and read between the lines. VFP is dying on the vine. Check out the attendance rates to Devcons, VFP threads, and VFP jobs in general out there. Read ads in Dallas, Houston, Denver etc... jobs for all kinds of C++, C#, or SQL developer exist. No VFP anywhere. 4 years ago I had 6 interviews at 6 different companies ( I was practicing ) in 1 month and saw ads everywhere. Economy boom or bust there is still a need for people and new developement goes on somewhere, just not in VFP land.
