Jun Tangunan's Nicely Designed Controls

Just because a lot of cool stuff exists in VFPX doesn't mean there are other sources for inspired design.Jun Tangunan has been showcasing a number of his creations on his Foxite site.

Following Craig Boyd's lead to create "good-looking" applications, Jun's collection currently includes:

- An awesome looking button class
- A custom TitleBar class
- A switchbox class
- A calendar sidebar class
- A non-ActiveX based Date Picker
Jun Tangunan : Presenting SSButton Class


I just wish Jun would put his goodies into VFPX so they can be packaged at some point.

Great work!

THANK YOU. Where has this guy been hiding? The stuff he's creating in/for VFP is something every Foxhead ought to know about!!

His blog should be entered in the list at http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~BlogWatch.

I wonder how many more of these guys/gems are hiding out there. The more these things show up, the more I truly believe that M$ has had no idea how VFP is being used and that abandoning it was a very bad idea.

Jun Tangunan is a regular contributor in Foxite.

He also maintains a blog, http://sandstorm36.blogspot.com>/.

In 2012, he was chosen as the year's ambassador to Southwest Fox Conference.

At the time of this writing, he is still very active with VFP and still making free useful classes for VFP developers out there.

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.

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

Facebook Revolt - imeem alternatives?

When Scoble noted how Facebook under major revolt , I immediately thought of a site I found yesterday. The value offered by Facebook's feeds however do seem very cool - if only they had been smart and made them opt-in, instead of opt-out. I have been impressed though with Facebook's opening of their API's - they certainly get it that they need to open it up to developers. I haven't really explored this other site, beyond my first look. In some ways, I think the whole social networking site thing is just silly , but this site (imeem) definitely showed some value. I could find music (as posted by the artist), it worked in Firefox and it allowed people to rank, add to delicious and more. And when I'm looking at someone, I can see what they're up to (or rather what they allow us to see). Anyways, you may want to check it out.
