Hi, I’m Craig Bailey and this is my personal blog where I write about technology, business systems, HubSpot, marketing strategy and general life experiences. You can read my posts here.
(If you are looking for the Content is King post by Bill Gates it is here)
I’m involved with three agencies in Sydney:
I also co-host HubShots, the podcast and YouTube show focussed on getting the most out of HubSpot. We are the creators of the HubShots Framework.
Great to see a few more Australian companies have added their details to the Fox Wiki page: case you missed it, at OzFox Lite we were trying to get a list of Australian FoxPro development companies compiled. And I’m hoping someone will take the lead in New Zealand as well. So, please add your details if you haven’t already.
I’m pleased to remind you that we will have Adam Cogan speaking at the Sydney VFP User Group this month. Adam was one of our top scorers in the evals from OzFox Lite with his excellent session on Rules for Successful Projects Part 1. In his session at UG he will be taking us through the second half of his session ie Rules to Successful Projects Part 2. See you there in 2 weeks time. Mark it...
And yet more on the TFS theme… Microsoft has posted the release of its Visual Studio Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider (this is the one that has been out in RC for a little while). Rob notes it has been tested with VFP9 SP1. can download it directly from herehttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=32202966-EF04-442F-8C5C...
More on VFP and TFS…Alan Stevens notes that he will be doing a session on VFP and TFS at FoxForward. This looks like a fantastic sessionhttp://foxforward.net/session.php?topic=22It will be interesting to see how many Fox developers take note of this and use it in their own environments…
I received an email yesterday from a VFP developer in the US asking about whether there was much interest in a VFP Team System client amongst the community. He is considering writing one.I replied that I thought probably not… after all most Fox developers have their systems worked out after all these years. However I should mention that for us personally at Talman we’d love it, as we...
Ignore this post….I’m testing out BlogBeat
One thing we discussed at OzFox Lite was getting a list of Australian Fox developers together, the aim being that we could then contact each other as required. You can check out the Networking presentation here: action item was for everyone to add their details to the new page on Fox Wiki. So, here’s a reminder to Australian devs to jump over and add your details: hoping someone from NZ...
I know this is old news now, but if you haven’t heard, Universal Thread is making their two magazines available free to Universal Thread members. You can read about it here: at Sydney VFP UG the other night there were still some people who don’t use UT – if that is you then what could possibly be stopping you now? Start here: OzFox Lite attendees that loved Larry’s...
Since OzFox Lite on the weekend, I’ve been trying to catch up on work – I’m way behind. So, one thing I am lagging on is explaining our thoughts for the full OzFox (or OzFox Heavy as some have started referring to it as). For now I have put a brief summary of the feedback from attendees at OzFox Lite (you can see that here). Whilst I haven’t had a chance to talk...
I’ve posted a few more of the sessions from OzFox Lite up on the site. They include Andrew Coates’ session using VFP with SQL Express (see also his blog post pointing to the management tools), Eka’s on SQL Tips and Rahul’s awesome whitepaper on converting VFP up to SQL (22 pages of great discussion). www.ozfox.com.au
