To: [email protected] Hi Folks, 1. "Dealing with Reserved Words as Data Names in VFP Apps" Reserved words used as table and field names in .DBF files can cause a number of problems. Having been tripped up in the past by this myself, I did a detailed analysis of reserved words that are likely to cause problems for most folks. Then I came up with strategies to deal with the various situations that can be encountered. Our 40 page ebook presents an exhaustive analysis of common gotchas and presents a variety of solutions. Includes the definitive database of reserved words and conflicts, routines used to create the database, and a program to analyze your data set and compare it against this list of reserved word conflicts. Just $10 for the ebook and source code. Visit www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/reservedwords.htm for details. 2. 'Summer's Nearly Over' 30 hour e-book sale As summer approaches a close and the fall craziness nears, you should catch up on some of the reading you've been meaning to do. To help you along, all Hentzenwerke e-books are $15 (except Best Practices, $25) through 3 p.m. Friday, August 16. (That's CST.) Visit www.hentzenwerke.com/buy/zbuy.htm. 3. "So, You've Inherited a VFP Application..." - Updated! Our 122 page ebook smorgasbord of ideas, advice, and wisdom for dealing with that Visual FoxPro application that landed on your lap after the last developer became unavailable was updated in late March. Still just $10. It now contains 132 pages of tips and tricks, and also includes 10 small programs to help you determine the size and scope of an application you're evaluating: * Finding unused files in a project or folder * How big are the tables, programs, forms and reports in a project * Auditing the data in a table, including * - Date spans * - How 'empty' fields are * - Duplicate names * - Normalization considerations * - Reserved word conflicts Some say these short scripts are worth the price of the book itself. Visit www.hentzenwerke.com/catalog/inheritvfp.htm for details. 4. The Business Case for VFP in 2013 Last fall, I wrote a lengthy position paper for Visual FoxPro. "The Business Case for Visual FoxPro in 2013" lays out a detailed argument for when VFP is a good choice for application development, and when it is not. No emotions, no FUD, simply facts. I've talked with devleopers daily since, and it turns out that many still don't know about this document. If you're trying to make the decision about whether to continue to use VFP for existing projects, ord to use it for a new application, this position paper will help you evaluate your needs and make the decision one way or the other. Perhaps more importantly, it provides an objective view that you can take to your management, fellow developers, and customers who are similarly wondering about VFP's future now that the EOL is just two years away.
