Hi Lew, Don't know if you're intending to convert existing and significant VFP applications, but if so, maybe consider VFP compatible software so the learning curve and conversions wouldn't be so big and expensive.
I'm thinking that since VFP10 checks out with Windows 10, VFP apps will continue to run on Windows for at least another decade, so no rush. But when the time does come, and it surely will, and we'll have to abandon ship, I think one of the dbase competitors will have a gangplank ready for us. Makes business sense because there must be many thousands of VFP apps out there and that's a whole lot of license money for building a code converter. An Alaska Software link to a related topic is http://www.alaska-software.com/landing/foxpro/start.cxp There may well be others, but for myself I think it's too early to spend a lot of time researching. That is, in 5-10 years something will exist that doesn't today. Bill I've been avoiding this for years, but I'd like to pick up a modern language. Given my background in the Fox and this group, it looks to me that Python is the way to go. Question is: where do I start? I'll still be pc/Windows 10 only. I'll need the lang, ide & tutorials. -Lew Schwartz _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
