Overview
Learning a program as complex, powerful, and massive as FoxPro for Windows is a real challenge. But it doesn't have to be overwhelming. This book is part guide, and part reference, moving you from the basics of data management to the higher-level elements of this industrial strength database application. Along the way, you'll learn about the power of FoxPro for Windows, as well as some of its pitfalls. You'll also find a realistic progression for learning Xbase/FoxPro programming that waits to introduce aspects of the program, like the FoxPro Power Tools, until you're ready to deal with them. The accompanying disk is filled with examples and useful procedures for programming, as well as a suite of complete programs for some of the requirements of a big application: Data Dictionary Manager, Security System, System Codes Manager, and Output Manager. These are ready for plug-n-play in your own applications.The guiding credo of this book is to "Do good database work, fast." The author shows you all the tricks and techniques of using FoxPro's database, programming, and application development in the new Windows environment. You'll learn how to build expressions, use the menu tools, functions, and commands, program control structures, use style books, and data dictionaries, and more.
