In show #39, Andrew MacNeill speaks with Kevin Cully about what he's got planned for FoxForward 2006, a conference being held in Alpharetta, Georgia from September 15-17, 2006.

More info is available <a href='http://www.foxforward.net">here</a>.

The conference looks really good with a wide variety of sessions covering basic development techniques, Ajax and FoxPro, GDI+ along with some real "case study" type sessions on FoxPro and Wireless from John Harvey at the Shelby Co. Sheriff's office and Bill Sanders filling everyone in on how CollegeCon is going ( the VFP Intern project).

This show includes an interview with fellow Canadian and Microsoft Program Manager, Milind Lele, who is working on the Visual FoxPro Sedna project.

In our interview, he talks about the recent changes, how the team is working with on the community tech preview, getting feedback and work on the second VFP 9 Service Pack - similar to what was noted in the most recent VFP 9 Letter.

FoxShow #37  : We're back with an interview with Rod Miller of dbi-Tech on their big Sedna announcement. Check out there VFP Community home page here.

Welcome to 2006 - what a late start in the year for the FoxShow but what a great interview we have with Doug Hennig, Rick Schummer and Craig Boyd all about SednaX, the Visual FoxPro community development project and how you can get involved.

the Listener Survey

Note: the audio may sound a bit strange in this show as I'm testing out a new device called RapidVoip and am not so sure on it - but would LOVE to hear your feedback.
Also to note that while this show didn't really follow a set format - newer shows will. I just have to get back on top with some new sounds, formats and more.

Check out GoToMeeting - for meeting online - it's really handy and inexpensive for those quick meetings that just have to happen!

Hope everyone has a great new Year! Thanks for listening - take our listener survey so we can ensure that we'll have the biggest year yet in 2006. I currently have done up 35 shows but the goal is for a new show every week. If you've got a product, a topic or just want to talk about what's going on with Visual FoxPro, software development and more, email me at foxshow@gmail.com!! Happy New Year!

If you've been listening to the show , please take our listener survey. This is something I am using to try and improve the overall quality of the show.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late show but I've been editing interviews. Rather than make an extra long show, Episode #35 features a part of my interview with John Petersen (YES! that JVP) about legal issues that developers need to be aware of.

The interview takes up most of the show (save for the opening and the ad) - he identifies very valuable issues for Visual FoxPro and other developers to be aware of.

I posted this on my own blog but I also wanted to make sure that if you wanted to take a peek at Dabo, the open-source database development environment written by VFPer's Ed Leafe and Paul McNett, you could see some of it here. It uses Python and MySQL. The video is in Windows Media format - not exactly multi-platform ready - if you're on a new iPod, let me know and I'll put up a Quicktime version. There's a lot more to it - but it's taking me forever to get this out of the hour long overview Ed gave me. The other pieces will be coming shortly. We'll be talking to them soon on the FoxShow as well - so if you have questions, shoot them my way and I'll be sure to ask when we do it.
