Excellent idea!!!

Maybe 4 basic samples...

1). Basic small app that uses databinding (one-tier)

2). Client-Server app (2-tier)

3). 3-tier app (VFP-Interface, Business Rules, and Data Tier)

4). Basic web app using one of the various web tools available.

Something easy to digest, but a good framework to build from....

>Since MSFT has limited resource devoted to VFP for business reasons, but many VFP developers use it as their primary source of income, perhaps a group of UT VFP developers could get together and design a really good VFP Sample Application that will both show good design strategies and also show off VFP's features. Sort-of like the UT competition we had not too long ago where each country had a team? We all really enjoyed it and benefited from it. However, instead of a 'speed race' this time we could have a set but reasonable time frame and maybe more would participate? I think while many think this should be MSFT's responsibility, we ALL would benefit from it regardless of who does it as long as it is done right...
