Hi Guys,
Well not sure how many French speaking VFP users are on the English forums, but as some of you might be aware, Fabrice Foray from the X# Devteam was invited to make a presentation at AtoutFox. https://www.foxite.com/archives/x-presentation-at-atoutfox-lyon-france-00004...
Would be good to hear if there are some attendees on this forum and their first impressions of what they have seen...

Hi Johan
I listened to Fabrice speeches on X# in Lyon (France) last friday. It was very interesting even if I didn't understand all what he said (I am 64 and more a specialist of DOS than Windows ;-) ). But I think it will open a door to 'modern programming' !
Some of us are going to try to compile their VFP app with the tools shown by Fabrice. It will be somehow difficult for me but as I work a lot with bits it will be interesting to test the 'compatibility'.
If you agree, I can transmit on Profox all the posts sent to www.atoutfox.org
As a side note, about 10 years ago, half people of AtouFox leaved because they said 'VFP is dead'. They spent a lot of time and money switching to other languages. The other half staid with VFP ... and now we can say that they were right !

Hi Jean Maurice,
Good to hear there was somebody that also lurks here. Well I am 54 and still happy XBasing using X# (coming from a Clipper/VO background) and we had the same, people moved on, but I am glad I stuck it out through all the struggles.

Great! Not sure what he covered regarding the Tools, but I will gladly assist to help where I can.

Would be good to see the impressions/reaction, but it is for the VFP guys to permit/reject.

I agree, lets hope the ball keeps rolling with the new XBase storm!

Thanks for sharing this. Gives me a chance to brush up on my French and learn more about X# at the same time. I would love to attend AtoutFox some year.
