Hi,
I am glad to see a new group of FoxPro user in NYC. I am actually in
North NJ, and use VFP 9 on a daily basis.
Here's the thing: TIOBE lists FoxPro as 17th most popular language in
the world,
http://www.tiobe.com/tpci.htm ,
and we all know MS will never release a version 10.
What's your point of view on the future of FoxPro developers /
specialists?
Hope to see you in one of the next meetings.

Well.... everything comes to an end.
If the death is very slow - let's say, 10 years from now - I won't
worry that much. :)

hi Freightliner,
i'm sure foxpro will be around for quite a while.
in the meantime, we'd love to see a new face at our meetings!
by the way,
i've seen your postings previously at the microsoft.public.fox.helpwanted newsgroup.
in fact, i've answered your post there today!
stay in touch.

There's quiute a bit of VFP code out there - and there's always been a
need for people to update and migrate legacy code.
Just imagine, COBOL is still around here and there. Of course, I hear
there is a visual COBOL in existance somewhere...
We're mainly a VFP shop, but are migrating a bit to sql server and VB.
There is still a need for VFP - I really think it will be around for a
while - one way or another
