To me this all goes back to the relevancy of the articles. Authors of books and magazine articles are not keeping vfp relevant to the latest technologies. To be honest, everytime I look at an issue of Foxpro Advisor, Foxtalk, or even CODE, I end up being disgusted with the lack of articles on VFP and the Web or even VFP interop with .NET. The UT mag seems to be the only one looking at these highly relevant areas. Some of the blame can also be pointed back to Microsoft since they certainly aren't pushing these topics...
>>I personally never did buy any VFP book myself, never subscribed to a VFP magazine, never visited a conference, yet I do regard myself as a reasonable VFP developer.
