VFP Resources

Every so often a new person turns up at the Sydney VFP User Group and asks where they can find information on a VFP related item. Usually I send them an email afterwards with a list of VFP resources. But to save time I’ve compiled a list here. There are many others ofcourse, but these are some main ones to get started with.

[Update: Added The FoxPro Show in the podcast section]

Blogs
I’ve put an OPML file of some Fox bloggers here
http://www.svfpug.com.au/assets/BlogsVFP.opml
Or zipped here (if you have trouble downloading the OPML directly):
http://www.svfpug.com.au/assets/BlogsVFP.zip

This includes anyone that I know of related to VFP, but that doesn’t mean their entries are all VFP related. Most bloggers put personal stuf in their posts aswell. Lately there has been a trend to having a personal and a professional blog, in order to separate the content (I’m considering this also)
The blog list has been largely compiled from the following sources
http://fox.wikis.com/wc.dll?Wiki~BlogWatch
http://www.universalthread.com/wconnect/wc.dll?LevelExtreme~2,3,1,5
http://weblogs.foxite.com/
There is a great range and you needn’t read all of them – I’ll let you decide which ones you like or not.
[Also, if you find that your blog is not in this list (but it is in one of the sources above) it means that I couldn’t connect to it at the time of compiling the OPML. Send me a note and I’ll add you in. I’ll try to refresh the OPML every few weeks.]
