Xbase Programming for the True Beginner: An Introduction to the Xbase Language in the Context of dBASE Iii+, Iv, 5, Foxpro, and Clipper

This text introduces students to basic (dot prompt) commands and structures in dBase III+, dBase IV and FoxPro. It then provides a step-by-step introduction to the XBase programming language, which allows students to create a menu-based system with several relational tables. XBase Programming for the True Beginner successfully combines material usually found in two books, yet students are guided by an easy-to-understand style. Reinforcement exercises follow every main command or concept and differences among individual products are highlighted with actual screen prints.
