The revolution should be ,um, streamed

Hey Craig - as you go out on the VFP World Domination tour, (love the name), do us all a favor and record it.

I know it's always tough recording a session - but tools like GoToMeeting make it easier for others to come on and see it, OR you can use the free Windows Media Encoder to do it.

This brings me up to one of my gripes about the various user groups. You guys are getting great speakers and great topics all around yet you aren't letting the rest of the VFP world know about it afterwards.

FoxIte will let you set up a blog quickly and easily - you can do your part with VFP World Domination by setting one up and making your reviews or coverages of your meetings available to all.

If any user group leader has never taken part in recording a session like this, drop me an email and I'll set one up to show you how it can be done. It takes very little time and it's worth it for everyone.

Since I'm doing "shout outs", this goes double for conference organizers (but I think I'm repeating myself)

I'm hoping to capture some screencasts, if not video of the Fox Forward conference. I dropped you an email yesterday. Did you happen to get it?

Yes I did, Kevin.

While I can appreciate that video will be tough, even doing a podcast or screencast (with audio) of it would be totally awesome.

Blogs and RSS come to Microsoft.com

MS has just introduced their portal and it's pretty comprehensive. Nothing quite like learning that some people use AIM instead of MSN messenger, or that there really may be a need for supporting 4 monitors ( Cyrus Complains ) However, it's really a great sign that MS is serious about supporting the blogging community which seems to have um, exploded in size in the past year.

Programmers vs. Developers vs. Architects

I received an email this morning from Brandon Savage 's newsletter. Brandon's a PHP guru (works at Mozilla) but his newsletter and books have some great overall perspectives for developers of all languages. However, this last one (What's the difference between developers and architects?) kind of rubs me the wrong way. Either that, or I've just missed the natural inflation of job descriptions. (maybe, it's like the change in terminology between Garbage man and Waste Engineer or Secretary and Office Administrator) So maybe it's just me - but I think there's still a big difference between Programmer, Developer and then of course, architect. The key thing here is that every role has a different perspective and every one of those perspectives has value. The original MSF create roles like Product Manager, Program Manager, Developer, Tester, etc - so every concept may pigeon hole people into different roles. But the statements Brandon makes are often distinction

FoxInCloud Stats

FoxInCloud sent this link a while back about their statistics regarding visits to their site: http://foxincloud.com/blog/2017/12/27/VFP-community-lessons-from-foxincloud-site.html What's interesting here is the breakdown of people. Yes, I think it's understandable that the Fox community is getting older. Another factor is the growth of the mobile and web environments taking over development. These environments really do push people towards the newer non-SQL or free SQL/hosted environments but more towards hosted storage options like Amazon and Google. A tool like FoxInCloud that helps MOVE existing applications to the cloud inherently competes with those environments. But FoxInCloud also allows developers to extend their application further by giving them a starting point using Javascript and the basic CSS (such as Bootstrap). If you're not rebuilding your application from scratch, it's certainly a great step forward. FoxPro VFP
