However, what is intersting is that it is easier for us to get PHP people to learn VFP then to get VFP programmers to migrate to contemporary enterprise architecture!

Interesting - but hardly surprising. I have long said that for all its power - VFP itself does more harm than good when it comes to the development of the developer. If Fox is what one first learned or all that one knows - chances are good that the developer's developer is stunted and crippled. It is not permanent by any means - but it is a hard cycle to break free from - particularly in the data-arena.

This by the way is the reason in large part - that I have long rejected the notion that good VFP developers necessarily translates into being a good developer in general. A good developer's skill sets IMO - are language/tool agnostic. A good developer can suceed in ANY tool. This is but one reason why good developers are orders of magnitude better than those that occupy the middle regions of the bell curve.
