Since I branched out from VFP, I've learned a lot about Linux, bash, subversion and git, PHP, Python, Ruby, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, JavaScript, HTML5 and CSS3, vim and more. It's been a fun ride. There are a lot of cool options out there, and keeping your options open is a wise move. (N.B., prior to VFP, I had diversified, too: Fortran, COBOL, Dynamo, SBASIC, C=64 thru Amiga, SuperBase, GEOS, CP/M and more...
