There are some videos free here
http://www.garfieldhudson.com/FreeVideos.aspx
There are paid for option as well.
I recall mentioning these to Dave C. when Tom came onboard as his
apprentice/replacement. Hows Tom doing anyway Dave, he must be one of
the youngest VFP programmers.
Kind regards

No, I understand why you are asking the question and I don't mind providing
you with an answer.
The primary reason is that I have been looking for a replacement development
tool to do the specific work I do for the niche I serve for about five years
now and I cannot find one that meets all of my personal and business
requirements as well as Foxpro. However, in order to grow my business to the
next level, I will ultimately need at least one more programmer who can do
what I do using the tools and techniques I have developed over the last 25
years to help me accomplish that goal.
I have been operating as a lone wolf for a lot of years now but I realize I
will need to teach my methods and techniques to someone and I freely admit
my teaching skills are limited and therefore my request for suggestions. I
have been presented with an opportunity for someone who might work into a
job like an intern and I'm trying to get my options in place to give them
the best chance to succeed.

Subject: Re: Foxpro/Programming Training Question
I know that somebody else here HAS to ask you this question - so, I might as
well be 1st!
So - Why VFP? I'm sure others will say the same thing. If someone is going
to start to learn programming - why start them off in a language that was
Killed Off by M$??
I don't mean to start a fight over this. And, I know folks will chime in and
defend VFP. Heck - I do at times too - since VFP is STILL my core
programming language. But, for a newbie - it may be best to start using some
other language that is widely in use - maybe even something like Python -
which is the 1st language my son seriously got into. He started seriously
getting into Python last year about this time - then he even did an
Internship this past summer - with a Physics researcher - writing programs
to help analyze data. He was actually 15 when he started the Internship!

If you had an opportunity to teach a novice who is interested in
learning programming in general and specifically with Visual Foxpro
who has limited previous programming knowledge and experience, where
would you start and are there some preferred VFP training
materials/books/videos that are recommended.
In my opinion there are two issues: 1) Basic Programming Skills and 2)
VFP specific skills, and I'm interested in your suggestions in how to
meet both of those needs. Plus if there are other issues, let me know that
as well.
Thanks in advance!
