<snipped> What I have found especially useful has been VFP's ability to store functional class definitions in local metadata and instantiate them on the fly when needed. Since the definitions are in metadata, application updates are achieved by updating metadata the table. No re-compiliation or distribution is needed and there is no down time.
I was in Michigan earlier this year and heard Andy mention this. Sounded like an extremely cool "always on" kind of concept; however, with such great power comes great responsibility (as the saying goes), although I'm sure he had a versioning system in place that would have allowed him to revert back to previous versions should the need arise. Actually, in his concept design, that would have been quite simple, if I understood him correctly.
I must have misread the article....I don't recall them bashing the use of Foxpro at all. Hmmm....now that it's yanked, I'll just have to take your word for it. Nevertheless, I'm sure Andy's work was very credible and sufficient, given his many talents and obvious knowledge demonstrated throughout the Fox community.
