1001 Things You Always Wanted to Know About Visual FoxPro Review by D. Baker

Doesn't Walk the Talk

Let me first say that I'm a dBase programmer and a relative novice to Visual Foxpro. Even still, though I've loaded the software version of this book onto my computer and consulting it many times, I still haven't found a useful tip that justified the $40 I paid for it.

I'm getting much better help on-line from the Google search tips for VFP and the sample solutions that Microsoft supplies with the software.

Perhaps the problem is the book seems to have been designed for the highly knowledgeable user. My sense is most of the tips come from the authors' custom consulting jobs. Which is fine, but for those who are not VFP experts, it's not very useful.

Apparently a good introductory/intermediate book on Foxpro hasn't been written yet. Still looking.
