Greetings, happy campers. Pop quiz this fine Monday.
- How many VFP books do you own?
4: Hackers guide to vfp 6.0, Client Server Apps with Visual Foxpro and SQL server, Internet Applications with Visual Foxpro, Deploying Visual Foxpro solutions.
- How many are dead-tree paper and how many ebooks?
All are real paper, but I know I have a pdf copy of one. The fact that I don't remember which one, or where it is, tells you my preference for question 6.
- What is your most well-worn VFP books? Or most referenced ebook?
Deployment - probably glanced through it a few times. Hacker's Guide - used a few times when something was acting odd.
Internet apps and Client server Apps? Falling to pieces, with several bookmark papers sticking out everywhere. Huge return on my investment for those two.
- What book do you regret not owning?
Nothing comes to mind.
- Would you buy VFP books if you could find them?
At this point, doubtful. Maybe would be interested in a VFP to Python migration book, or something like that.
- Preferred format? Paper, PDF, CHM, ePub, HTML, other (which?)
Paper. I like knowing where the book is physically, and be able to quickly flip back and forth while retaining an idea of where I am in the book.
