Foxpro and the net

Calvin Hsia: Creating, Parsing, Graphing Web Hit Log Files or Other Temporal Data.

Yes… VisualFoxpro can do web-related stuff. Foxite.com, UniversalThread.com, West-wind.com and Calvin Hsia‘s site are a few examples that use VFP as part of their backends.

Also, from the limited test I made, the fox-powered sites are even faster than those sites powered by ASP.NET (Again, stress on the ‘limited test’).

Plus there’s Active Foxpro Pages too.

I must admit though… some PHP-powered sites and forum I’ve been to, load faster than their .asp and even .cgi/perl counterparts. But then again there are a lot of factors to consider here.
