>>>To write high quality solutions with VFP requires a lot of effort. It is not an easy language to learn. Hopefully NET will be easier for the people leaving VFP!

>>LMAO. The main draw to foxpro is that it is extremely easy to learn. That's why you have so many cobbled-together spaghetti-code abortions passing for programs. Real programming languages like c, c++, c#, etc., are difficult and take much more time to learn.

>"LMAO" - you do a lot of that. I suspect there isnt much left of it. iac now I am LMAO because I havent heard someone play that silly "real programming languages" tune for so long - very macho. Bad programmers write bad code in any language. What a funny argument :)


I have a big one and am trying to lose weight. Laughing only burns a few calories so it takes a lot of it to work.. :)..

I guess my sense of sarcasm was lost on the group. I was being absurd to point out the absurdity of Terry's reasoning. Fox is easier to learn than most other languages, because in most other languages, you have to write your own routines. Fox has given us most of those routines out of the box. I remmeber having to write all sorts of sort objects in C and pascal, definately more time consuming and harder to understand than SET ORDER TO.
