A Quick Guide to the New Features

In spite of Microsoft's relative lack of marketing attention the Fox Pro database software has had it's development continued and has certainly maintained a loyal customer/development base. This book discusses the latest release of Visual FoxPro, which is now in Version 9. It concentrates, as you might guess from the title on What's New in Version 9. This book has four main sections: 1. tools you use to create applications 2. the Report Designer which had a major upgrade 3. data, including new data type, new index, and a host of other changes. 4. Everything else such as changes to the data model, new and modified commands. The publisher of this book, Hentzenwerke seems to have found a niche as perhaps the leading publisher of books on Visual FoxPro. They also maintain a web site with a specific section on this book including errata, updates and FAQs. This is a very handy book for the VFP developer to find out what's new without having to pour through standard documentation to find out.
