One thing that comes to mind when I read this is that you have to be patient with them - this is not something a 'simple class' can teach them in a week. They are going to take a while to understand the concepts - you should not rely on them to be productive for at least 3 months.


>Does anyone know of some training classes to help out a programmer who doesn't even know what a table is? We are thinking of hiring a programmer who has logic ability but knows nothing about databases. So we are looking for some simple class to help get them up to speed with tables, locks, basic foxpro commands. Then we could give them on the job training once they are at that point. We currently use VFP 6 and are in the process of moving to VFP 8. We don't use a lot of the new VFP features because we have a huge app and the upgrade path has left a lot of code still in the FoxPro 2.6 style.
