Rick Borup has been working in the FoxPro community for years. In recent years, he has shown Mercurial as his version control system of choice but at this year's Southwest Fox, he'll be showing how developers can take advantage of Git.

He's also got a new tool under his belt - a little database that makes sense for FoxPro developers who are looking for a fast and easy (and portable) DB.

Listen in and see how Rick got involved in the community and also how these tools may make your world a bit easier.

After so many years, XBASE is coming to DotNet!!! Note that I said xBase and not VFP. The xSharp project is an initiative for all xBase devotees, supporting Visual object, clipper and VFP syntax. 

I talk with project founder Robert van Der Hulst about how he got into the industry, and the how's and why's of the xSharp project.

Find out more at http://www.xsharp.info.

Two members of the xSharp team will be at this year's Southwest Conference.

A wide-ranging discussion with Tamar Granor, one of the organizers of Southwest Fox 2019, about women in tech, different ways of sharing information and how to go from wallflower to presenter.

She also tells of her own history with programming at Penn State, introduction to the online world and the gender bias in technology.

When speaking about VFPx at last year's Southwest Fox conference, it became evident that there aren't a lot of avenues for finding out how to use various pieces of VFPx. So I'm creating videos designed to showcase VFPx components, starting with the Control Renamer.

If you have ever wanted to rename a control in a class or form but were hesitant because of missing other code references, the Control Renamer is definitely a tool you want to try.

Now, there are lots of areas where new options can be added into this tool - but they are primarily "extras" like setting color settings or some logging.

Check it out below!

I didn't want to do a full show on this little interview but wanted to put it into the stream because I think it's really valuable for developers to hear. It's a discussion Alan Stevens and I had one morning at Southwest Fox 2008. It was held after his talk on Agile and I had some specific questions we wanted to get into. There is some background noise as we were talking outside at the breakfast table. If you've never heard Alan speak, this is a great way of getting a feel for his sessions. Enjoy!

At SWFox, there are a number of great sessions going on, most of which have the "please do not record or tape" - however, some, like this one, were open for all and everyone was told "you are on the Internet".

This show is the entirety of the VFPX Meeting session - a session hosted by Craig Boyd, Bo Durban, Rick Schummer and myself about how the community can get better involved with VFPX itself and some other suggestions at the type of things the community wants to see.

Audio is a conference room is tough - but I've tried to increase it where needed so you can hear the people in the back row.

Welcome back to the FoxShow! We've been offline for quite some time (last one was June 2006) but we're back and aiming to hit a new show at least once a month.

This particular show is a screencast of a cool new way for building web applications using FoxPro! (format is WMV - let me know if you prefer it in other formats)

The audio may be a little off
I'll be following this up with a regular podcast that includes part of the interview along with some other news items from the FoxPro community.

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.

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!

FoxShow #35: An Interview with the legal side of John Petersen 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.

Dabo Part 1: The AppWizard 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.

One of the goals I've had for a long time is to try and keep the show under 30 minutes - ideally around twenty. As listeners know, this is incredibly difficult with interviews that typically last that long. So what do you think? Should I separate interviews into their own "show" ( a la BuzzOutLoud model) and thus keep the shows down in length or keep them all in one big show. It may really depend on your player. For example, when I use the Creative Muvo, it keeps track of where I am with each show and thus when I stop and restart, it picks up right where I left off. Other devices may not be so lucky. Let me know. Take My Poll

Craig and Scott from the Australia Fox community put together a great beta (er alpha) tool in FoxTabs. I wasn't able to get to the latest video so I thought I would do up a quick screen cast (in Windows Media format) so you could have it yourself. It's a lot smaller than the other shows. If you would like to see more of these or maybe think they should be available under a separate account, please send me some feedback to foxshow@gmail.com Thanks!

    The FoxShow is typically about 30 minutes long and we try to get it out weekly although it was two weeks from the last one but Eric's last comment got me thinking. Obviously shows that have a single theme (like the one on MSF will be longer) but for a show like FoxShow #15 which covered a variety of things:
    FoxShow Podcast
    What is the ideal length for the FoxShow?
    One 30 minute show
