Scott Ambler warmed up the crowd last night with a provocative keynote on agile development. No one was left unmoved.
Ken Levy did the keynote this morning showing off the new public beta
of Visual FoxPro 9. His presentation was a mixture of the keynote
previews he's been doing for the last year, combined with full
disclosures on the new features, especially the report writer.
Here are a few bullet points:
- VFP 9 was based on customer wish list feedback.
- Primary goal to maintain backward compatibility.
- Enhanced language and data types
- Additional end user UI features
- Increased developer productivity
- Significant report writer enhancements
- Extended DotNet and SQL Server interoperability
- More reliability.
- Scheduled released is Q4 2004
Sessions going well. More notes as I have the chance.
