I think that would depend upon your skill level and past reads.

I have almost every Foxpro Advisor since maybe issue 1...and I have been dissappointed with every new Foxpro Advisor forever. The one thing I dislike the most about Foxpro Advisor is that the articles are short and on complicated subjects (which seem to be few) are just not as complete as they could be or as I often see in other mags.

I like Foxtalk but I think it is a little pricy.

Code Magazine is very very good but seems to be moving away from VFP for the most part.

=====================
The best deals are new books and CD's containing last years mags.

I think the reality is that the bigger newer subjects that need to be learned for the most part are happening outside of VFP. As long as the product is not really dieing (who really knows ???), in other words getting older and mature like me with less need for new features :~) that is ok.









>If you had to choose ONLY ONE professional development magazine that focused on VFP TODAY for your IT shop, what would it be and why? I used to receive Advisor but now I receive FoxTalk and Code personally. I feel all three are good magazines. Which one do you feel gives more 'bang for the buck' for a group of developers whose primary tool is VFP (we also use Delphi and some ASP now too)
