The Fundamentals: Building Visual Studio Applications on a Visual Foxpro Foundation

The long-awaited sequel to Whil's "Programming VFP 3.0," this volume covers the basics of developing a wide range of applications quickly, covers all of the new commands, functions, features and tools of Visual FoxPro 6.0, and describes, step-by-step, how to build a traditional LAN application with VFP as the foundation. Finishes up with an overview of new Visual Studio technologies, including MTS, ADO, and all the new Windows buzzwords and how they fit in with VFP. Includes electronic chapters that show how to convert the original LAN application to a client-server back end and to a Web-based multi-tier architecture. Required reading for everyone opening up the box. Whether you're completely new to Visual FoxPro, an old hand with FoxPro 2.x but new to the Visual world, or comfortable with VFP 3.0/5.0 but need to know what's new in VFP 6.0, The Fundamentals has the information you need to build LAN, Client/Server and multi-tier distributed Visual Studio applications on a Visual FoxPro foundation.
