ADS: Special issue Advantage Database Server for Visual FoxPro Developers FoxRockX200804.pdf
Sybase (formerly Extended Systems) offers the new version 9.0 of Advantage Database Server. The first feature mentioned in the press release published March 17th, 2008 consists in the unique support for the Visual FoxPro file format. Now you can work with DBF tables on the server with no direct access to the tables by the end user, no damaged index files, and you can even use ODBC. Doug Hennig took a close look at the pros and cons from a VFP perspective in this free special issue of FoxRockX magazine.

Intro 2008/11: Communication Lost! Reconnect! FR200811_coverpage.pdf
Maybe it's time for Microsoft generally to remember that there are still plenty of Visual FoxPro software developers in many countries around the world. While Microsoft may have made a strategic decision not to develop the product any further, that does not mean that people have stopped using it. How about updating some web pages? How about special offers to upgrade to Visual FoxPro 9.0 (many developers are still using old versions of Visual FoxPro)? Even if there is no new product-specific information, how about some mention of the new free tools there are available at VFPX (http://www.codeplex.com/VFPX) and about those still under development?

Intro 2009/01: VFPS: Visual FoxPro Stack FR200901_Coverpage.pdf
Software components comprising the Visual FoxPro platform and ecosystem: The evolution and next phase of Visual FoxPro has essentially been transferred from Microsoft to the FoxPro community. Visual FoxPro will evolve, but the results of its evolution depend on the efforts within the FoxPro community. VFPS (Visual FoxPro Stack) can become an important part in the future and perception of Visual FoxPro starting in 2009 and into the next decade.

Intro 2009/01: VFPS: Visual FoxPro Stack (French) FR200901_coverpage_french.pdf
L'évolution et le prochain cycle de Visual FoxPro a essentiellement été transféré par Microsoft à la communauté FoxPro. Visual Foxpro va évoluer, mais le résultat de cette évolution dépendra des efforts au sein de la communauté FoxPro. VFPS (Visual FoxPro Stack) peut devenir un élément important dans l'avenir et la perception de Visual FoxPro à partir de 2009 et pour la prochaine décennie.

Intro 2009/05: VFP 9 SP2 News FR200905_Coverpage.pdf
The perception and adoption of the Visual FoxPro 9 Service Pack
2 has been in a word, underwhelming. Reports of the Report Designer
having some bugs and the Help file being a mess spread
across the various forums and blogosphere extremely fast. Rick
has good news on both fronts!

Intro 2009/07: All You Can Eat! FR200907_Coverpage.pdf
It's conference time again. This year's Prague DevCon took
place, SouthWestFox and the FoxPro DevCon Germany and
other events are coming soon. And lots of new topics and
new stuff to learn for everyone. For 15+ years I have really
tried to attend conferences and learn new things. And the
FoxPro conferences I always enjoyed most as they are the
best on earth from my perspective. I am really sorry about
each one I missed for whatever reason. Surely the FoxPro
DevCons are smaller nowadays, which is a pity as the
number
of topics you need to know about has increased each
year. Therefore developers have to attend other conferences
as well.

Intro 2009/09:New kids on the block FR200909_Coverpage.pdf
And here they come: A new book about Visual FoxPro
has been sent to the printer today, and printed copies
will be available in September 2009. It is the rewritten
version of the best-selling Visual FoxPro book of all
time: “Effective Techniques for Application development
with Visual FoxPro 6.0” by Jim Booth and Steve
Sawyer from Hentzenwerke Publishing. Jim Booth
has reworked and updated it for Visual FoxPro
9.0,
but it is still valid for all versions. And why do we say
‘kids’ instead of ‘kid’? Because this book, “Effective
Application development with Visual FoxPro” comes
in two flavours, English and German at the same
time!

Intro 2009/11: Visual FoxPro Strategy at Microsoft (French) FR200911_Coverpage_French.pdf
Microsoft ne publiera jamais le code source de VFP en open source car il n’y a aucune
raison économique pour le faire et de nombreuses raisons pour ne pas le faire. L’évolution
de VFP dans la prochaine décennie se fera avec des produits nouveaux ou améliorés qui
fonctionnent avec VFP, des projets communautaires comme VFPX, et bien sûr par la
communauté VFP elle-même.

Intro 2010/01: Get on the VFPX Bandwagon FR201001_Coverpage.pdf
A group of VFPX developers/users held a bonus session
during the Southwest Fox conference in October to discuss
future direction of VFPX and what is needed to get
the word out to other developers in the Fox Community.
There were a number of good ideas shared, but there are
three key details I believe need to be highlighted.

Intro 2010/03: Visual FoxPro Stack Overflow FR201003_Coverpage.pdf
In software, a stack overflow occurs when too much memory
is used on the call stack, usually caused by programming
errors, typically resulting in a program crash. In ideas, a stack
overflow might occur when too many ideas, all with good
intention, comprise a concept which is too far reaching and/
or unrealistic to reach its goals.

Intro 2010/03: Visual FoxPro Stack Overflow (French) FR201003_coverpage_french.pdf
En matière de logiciel, un débordement de pile se produit lorsque trop de mémoire est
utilisée dans la pile des appels, généralement causée par des erreurs de programmation, ce
qui entraîne généralement un plantage du programme. En matière d’idées, un
débordement de pile peut se produire lorsque trop d’idées, quelles que soient les bonnes
intentions à leur origine, reposent sur un concept qui est irréaliste ou trop ambitieux pour
atteindre son objectif.
