It's as much a disservice to only present a positive image of Foxpro as it would be only to present a negative one. Would I encourage anyone to start using Foxpro as their primary development language? No. Do I believe that it is a valuable tool that has basically supported me for the past 13 years? Yes. It is a great language and tool, but it is not the future and unfortunately for some of us the future matters a great deal.

Hi Jay,

"Would I encourage anyone to start using Foxpro as their primary development language?"
Yes I force all my coder to past VFP cource.
Why because main advantage of my firm creating MIS - web or client server is that in difference of other firms we gain from our DB expertize.
If behind some ASP.Net, C# or VB.Net UI is not written stronge datamanipulation code the system is good for nothing.
That was one of the reason that VFP is fate to success in long run

my 2 cents
