Finally, a guide that gets you started - with a few caveats
Though the software has a devoted following dating back over a decade to the days of dBase, FoxPro has never gotten the credit (or the market share) it deserves among the database/developer community. Because of this virtually no books are available to someone just starting out. All FoxPro titles offered today only make sense to either the already-initiated, those coming from other development ...

Hentzenwerke Publishing, 2002

Thoughtful, meticulous coverage
Web Connection is a difficult environment to work in particularly if you are new to working with a) a local server and b) a framework for interfacing the VFP language with HTML. It took me almost a year to complete my first Web Connection project because I had to get most of my answers from the Web Connection forum from people like Randy Person. Now there are real examples to follow and clear ...

The 1999 Software Developer's Guide
Since there's no blurb under the title, I'll start with what's on the back cover: "Programming is 90% of the job. But it's the surrounding part--selling, writing specs, designing, estimating, coordinating the coding, finding employees, training them, testing (and retesting), tracking employees activities, ... getting paid, ongoing maintenance--these take the other 90% of the time. And that ...

The best of the current crop of Visual Foxpro books.
Will Hentzen shows you the correct approach to the Visual Foxpro learning curve. It gets you step by step from your knowledge of pre-Visual Foxpro (or other database-type languages) into the world of Visual Development and OOP. A must have for the serious Visual Foxpro programmer

If you don't have a process, you need this book
I had been "winging it" (as Whil might say) for critical pieces of the software development process. The most obvious example comes in the area of pricing. A customer tells you what they need, then they invariably ask how much. How do you answer that question? Whil lists 5 of the most common techniques, which are all variations of "winging it." I had probably tried all 5. After educating ...

Soup-to-nuts experience on getting custom s/w right
I used the action-point analysis and can report it provides consistent estimates with minimal cost. Good example scenarios on how to handle various customer interaction issues. I haven't seen as practical a presentation anywhere on how to handle pricing discussions with a customer.

Microsoft Pr, 1996

Great Book! You'll get more treasure with each reading!
This is a book you will not want your employer to buy for you, because you'll want to own this book! Of the 896 pages in this book, there is almost no fluff ! In fact, this book is so good that I readily agree with one of the authors when he says, "it's a really good idea for you to read this report" (book), "more than once." Given the opportunity, I plan to re-read this book at least once. ...

MySQL Client-Server Applications with Visual FoxPro
Whil Hentzen

Hentzenwerke Publishing, 2007

Visual FoxPro has long been the perfect front end for client-server applications. Featuring a robust programming language, a full-featured IDE, and a powerful object model, rich client development has always been a joy. Inside, a native local data engine, integrated hooks into binding with remote data, and Rushmore technology make VFP your secret weapon when connecting to SQL back-ends. MySQL is the world's most popular open source SQL ...

Access vs. Programming
The book is very helpful for teaching non-programmers how to write applications using MS Access. Since most of the code is pre-written by MS Access, then it is not necessary to have a lot of examples of code. MS Access is a database system which now permits the integration of interfaces. Any wanting to learn how to use MS Access to write powerful applications, without having to get too ...
