Visual FoxPro 9 CDs ... at last!
I'm excited. I finally got my CD with the latest version of Visual FoxPro.
I know, not many people get excited about a new compliler, but I'm one of those who does!
There are a lot of new features in version 9, especially in significantly enhanced reporting features. I'll have to figure out what to use, and then begin the migration from Visual FoxPro 6 (which I used for the Donor Manager) to version 9.
I skipped version 7 completely, and used 8 for several projects, and now will move everything to version 9.
Rumours of Visual FoxPro's death continue, but the program still is a wonderful language for putting together nice database applications. I do remember when the Garner Group (one of the largest computer consulting firms in the world) announced to their clients that VFP was dead and that no new releases would be coming, and that people should be making the move.
Oh, and that announcement was made in 1992 when Visual FoxPro 3.0 was released.
