FoxPro workBLOGS and MORE… . . .

Paul Mrozowski: Alternative to Modal VFP Forms.

Another Visual FoxPro-related article at boodezybux.com: Visual FoxPro is still here, still very relevant. This one’s from Sylvester Alelele.

Not to be confused with David T. Anderson’s November 2004 article: Visual FoxPro 9.0: Still Here, Still Relevant.

Here’s another article mentioned by Alelele: Where have you gone, Visual FoxPro?

Bodeezy Bux: Building Data Aware Applications with Visual FoxPro Part III: Universal Data Access.

Microsoft breathes life into FoxPro.

And here’s the related ZDNet article from Mary-Jo Foley.

FoxProAnswers.com. Not as free and extensive as Universal Thread and Foxite but hey… I’m glad to find new Fox-related sites. WhoIs says it was created just last year.

Jun Tangunan has this article on Converting File to PDF via ShellExecute().

We’ll definitely look into this, considering the problems a PHP Team developer is facing with his PDF generation process that is taking months already.

Speaking of months… it has been 6… 7 months since I have seen something new from Foxite’s Download section.

Doug Hennig: Services as Products (via Akselsoft)

A number of interesting GDIPlusX (images and charts and all) going on at this VFP IMAGING site.

…

Going back to services and products, when we started doing freelance works around 6++ years ago, we made the services part free for one year. Client only has to pay for the customized product.

Even extended it to a couple more years, since most clients were kind enough to give us new projects (or recommend us to their branches) after the first year.

It worked well… until 2007, when a new wave of client adminstrators went in… new staff without proper turnovers and a lot of outside factors as well.

Now we’re spending some time ironing out things.

In this part of the world, the fair option that I see for freelancers like us would be to sell the Product as Product and the ‘Services as Product’ part will tackle the maintenance part.

Of course it also depends on what side of the fence are you in. Our Open Source lovin’ friends mostly would go for Services all the way.

Which works for them.

On our part, we still have a lot of re-planning to do since we have been discovering, as of late, that most human users are like Francium, one of the most unstable elements in this world.

Ok… we’re not going into the bloody details of that part.
