I'm new to programming in VFP and am looking for a CBT training course. I'm
using 3.0 and will be migrating to 5.0 "soon". I'm looking to buy a CD-ROM (or
a set) for self-training. Does anyone have experience with a course that they
would recommend? Please tell me where to get it and the approx. cost if known.
TIA
Ed

I second that. I gave up on it. Instructions were very unclear
at times. "Click on <icon>." when I didn't know what the icon looked
like (since I was just learning, eh?). I was using VFP5, but didn't
think the differences would be that big.

Ed,

I am new to programming in VFP too and tried the Mastering VFP CD and
the book Visual FoxPro 3 for Windows Step by Step (MicroSoft Press
ISBN 1-55615-846-7)

The CD has a lot of info, but I had expected to learn more from it.
If you are not very experienced in VFP and want to learn starting at
a more basic level, I would recommend buying the "step by step" book.
Read it through, and go through the Mastering VFP CD next.
The demo's on the CD are good.
The knowledgebase howto articles are also very helpfull.
Hope this helps,

Edwin.
