I am working on an article for my website about FoxPro development and I'm wondering how each of you got your start in FoxPro and whether you have a degree or not.
To give you an idea of what I'm looking for, I will go first. In 1984 - 1988 I was hired as an electronics technician to build and maintain Burn-In Ovens utilized by a company to test integrated circuits according to mil-std 883 and some other specifications that I no longer remember the numbers for. The owners brought in a program from singapore that was used to track these burn in lots and it was written in dBase II As I worked my way up the ladder, I became responsible for ensuring that all devices that were tested met the requirements specified in 883. One of the requirements was that each device had to be burned in for a minimum of 72 hours and no more then x hours and as I became familiar with this dBase II program I realized that there were no reports to show you which lots needed to be pulled, etc so I began to teach myself how to develop these reports. As I grew more comfortable with dBase II, I began to realize that there were thousands of lots still in the oven in theory because they had not been removed in the program, but that is another story and one I'm sure most of us have experienced over the years. As for myself, I have taken college level classes whenever I needed to come up to speed on a subject, but I do not have a degree. -- Virgil Bierschwale Vets Finding Vets <http://www.VetsFindingVets.org> Keep America At Work <http://www.KeepAmericaAtWork.com> --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://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.
