2005-06-01T14:09:00.000-04:00

Sedna - while other MS code names are all about warm places in the Pacific, the Fox Team has chosen Sedna - just as if the sun was Microsft, VFP is the most distant body known that orbits it. Smaller than Pluto, but as noted, " not even officially a planet " - it still orbits, much like VFP still orbits the MS universe.

FW: FoxCast presentation on "Test Driven Development in VFP"

2005-03-31T02:29:00.000-05:00

BurtRosen will do a FoxCast presentation on "Test Driven Development in VFP" on Tuesday, April 12 at 7:00 pm Eastern. You can register for this FoxCast at www.foxcast.org. Save time, money, and headaches by delivering solid code the first time! FoxUnit is a framework for doing Test Driven Development in a VFP environment. In this session, Burt will introduce you to Test Driven Development and how to use FoxUnit to implement TDD in your daily software development. You will see how the use of FoxUnit will actually save development time and result in cleaner, more dependable code. Burt will also show how you can use a testing framework to rapidly change or refactor your code without accidentally introducing bugs. This is not some theoretical idea. This is a practical way to vastly improve your software and slash debug time.

Damn it! There's enough news about FoxPro that DEMANDS (yet!) another web site and I'm determined to see it there.

So here we go...
