I've been programming with Foxpro since the early 80's and I was rather surprised when I went to an interview for a VFP developer job a few years ago and the ONLY specific programming question I was asked was: "What is a snippet?" I had a difficult time not giggling. After using Foxpro for so many years I was pretty comfortable with it even though I still get stumped now and then, but that was the easiest programmer's test I ever took! :o)

But that's what we were using for a new project, and that's what I wanted, a *little* experience with vfp3. So I asked each candidate, on the spot: "Here's a PC with vfp3 installed. Please put a checkbox in a grid and make it functional (based on a logical field in a given table). After about 5 disasters with 2.x people that *claimed* they knew some vfp but clearly did not (some could not even create a form in vfp, let alone make a grid functional). But finally one guy came in and passed my mini-test, and a job was his.

>Not that I've ever done it that way since, hiring based on just one little development trick, but it worked out for that situation when vfp was still very new.
