Hi Joel,
Surf on over to www.hentzenwerke.com and look at the variety of books
available. Although oriented toward VFP6, "The Fundamentals" is still =
right
on and is a good beginner book. "Effective Techniques" and "Advanced =
OOP"
are also good.
For training at reduced cost, surf on over to www.takenote.com and check =
out
the self-study courseware. It might be within your budget if a live =
class is
out of reach.
For other online forums check out the Microsoft public newsgroups. The
server is msnews.microsoft.com. The UniversalThread, =
www.universalthread.com
is a popular web-based forum and the basic membership is free.=20

What kind of books would y'all recommend for someone like me, who is
interested in updating his knowledge base? I'm a dBase-style programmer
from
as far back as dBase III. Most of my programming is don't in Clipper
(before
CA bought them out) and in FoxPro 2.6. I also have a background in =
standard
languages like C and COBOL (though I never much cared for the latter).
I'm interested in bringing myself up-to-date, all the way to VFP 8.0. =
Does
anyone have ideas for books/URLs/etc at limited cost? I can't afford =
the
thousands of dollars that various companies charge for this kind of =
thing.
