5 years ago, when I decided to try VFP, the main resources I found were in UTMAG - as series of articles called "VFP for beginners" from Claudio Lassala.
This was my first step with VFP. Then, I found the various VFP forums - Profox, UT, Foxite, Compuserver, TekTips among others And it has already happened that I posted some questions (5 years ago) in PROFOX and in other resources, and the only place that I got an answer was UT. I`m not complaining of anything, people are not obliged to answer all questions, and from an unknown visitor. But in UT I received lots of help. Many times, the help comes with a link to another previous thread, where I can find some tips or solutions. I found many great articles in UTMAG, that helped me a lot in my VFP life. I visit some forums regularly, UT included. I`m not a UT subscriber, I NEVER paid a penny for any info or help I got from there. And because of this, I`m thankful to UTMAG. I even wrote 5 or 6 articles for it. And I have to disagree with the majority here, because UTMAG has always brought great value. To read UTMAG, you don't need to like Michel Fournier. Luckily, Michel has some great people that offered him lots of help, and that are really helpful, and super engaged with the VFP community. As Mike Yearwood said, they work without any financial profit, and dedicate many hours to help the community. ALthough the essence of UT is a business that looks for profit, the majority of the developers and contributors that make UT are really great, and provide help without looking for other benefits. These people are also an important part of the VFP community.
