An interview with Tamar Granor, Doug Hennig and Rick Schummer regarding Southwest Fox 2009, coming up in October in Mesa, Arizona. Discussions range from choice of sessions, VFPX, new speakers and sponsors and the state of FoxPro development. Enjoy!

When speaking about VFPx at last year's Southwest Fox conference, it became evident that there aren't a lot of avenues for finding out how to use various pieces of VFPx. So I'm creating videos designed to showcase VFPx components, starting with the Control Renamer. If you have ever wanted to rename a control in a class or form but were hesitant because of missing other code references, the Control Renamer is definitely a tool you want to try. Now, there are lots of areas where new options can be added into this tool - but they are primarily "extras" like setting color settings or some logging. Check it out below! FoxPro VFP

Welcome to the first show of 2009. On today's show: 1. Discussion about Rod Paddock's What's In a Title post. 2. Designing Databases with Andy Kramek. 3. What's new at VFPX. 4. Interview with John Koziol

FoxShow #60 features an interview with Ken Levy recorded on the second day of Southwest Fox 2008.We talked about a number of things including what he's been doing since he left Microsoft, the new CodeCast podcast that he is doing with EPS, APPScanX - a new VFP tool for helping to scan projects and code for specific elements and what he feels his contribution has been to the FoxPro community.Enjoy!

From Southwest Fox 2008 in Mesa Arizona, here is the audio from my Profiling and Refactoring session. In it, we discuss what refactoring is and what it isn't and how the VFPX Code Analyst helps make refactoring easier in Visual FoxPro. We also discuss how to best use the Log file generated from the VFP Coverage Profiler.

Here's another "discussion" from Southwest Fox, all about how developers get the most out of their day and, er, shower. Discussion with Cathy Pountney, Mike Yeager, Alan Stevens, Art Bertquist, Andrew MacNeill and others. Enjoy.

Listen Now:

I didn't want to do a full show on this little interview but wanted to put it into the stream because I think it's really valuable for developers to hear. It's a discussion Alan Stevens and I had one morning at Southwest Fox 2008. It was held after his talk on Agile and I had some specific questions we wanted to get into. There is some background noise as we were talking outside at the breakfast table. If you've never heard Alan speak, this is a great way of getting a feel for his sessions. Enjoy!

Listen Now:

At SWFox, there are a number of great sessions going on, most of which have the "please do not record or tape" - however, some, like this one, were open for all and everyone was told "you are on the Internet".This show is the entirety of the VFPX Meeting session - a session hosted by Craig Boyd, Bo Durban, Rick Schummer and myself about how the community can get better involved with VFPX itself and some other suggestions at the type of things the community wants to see.Audio is a conference room is tough - but I've tried to increase it where needed so you can hear the people in the back row.Enjoy

Welcome to 2006 - what a late start in the year for the FoxShow but what a great interview we have with Doug Hennig, Rick Schummer and Craig Boyd all about SednaX, the Visual FoxPro community development project and how you can get involved. Also noted in the show: Craig Bailey's Comments on the Surge The SednaX Proposal template And I almost forgot - OzFoxRocks! Episode #2 the Listener Survey Note: the audio may sound a bit strange in this show as I'm testing out a new device called RapidVoip and am not so sure on it - but would LOVE to hear your feedback. Also to note that while this show didn't really follow a set format - newer shows will. I just have to get back on top with some new sounds, formats and more. Check out GoToMeeting - for meeting online - it's really handy and inexpensive for those quick meetings that just have to happen!

Listen Now:

Sorry for the late show but I've been editing interviews. Rather than make an extra long show, Episode #35 features a part of my interview with John Petersen (YES! that JVP) about legal issues that developers need to be aware of. The interview takes up most of the show (save for the opening and the ad) - he identifies very valuable issues for Visual FoxPro and other developers to be aware of. Ad: GoToMeeting is the easiest and most affordable way to conduct online meetings with coworkers and clients without ever leaving your desk.

I posted this on my own blog but I also wanted to make sure that if you wanted to take a peek at Dabo, the open-source database development environment written by VFPer's Ed Leafe and Paul McNett, you could see some of it here. It uses Python and MySQL. The video is in Windows Media format - not exactly multi-platform ready - if you're on a new iPod, let me know and I'll put up a Quicktime version. There's a lot more to it - but it's taking me forever to get this out of the hour long overview Ed gave me. The other pieces will be coming shortly. We'll be talking to them soon on the FoxShow as well - so if you have questions, shoot them my way and I'll be sure to ask when we do it.
