Job Opportunity

A company in Bakersfield is looking for a lead Visual FoxPro programmer to lead a team in a substantial project. The ideal individual would be experienced in VFP, client/server (Oracle or SQL Server) and be comfortable in guiding the remainder of the team in converting this large system from FoxPro/DOS. The individual would actually work for my company and be offered a very attractive compensation package. Relocation is preferred, but not absolutely required if an agreeable schedule is worked out. The initial conversion project will last from 8 to 16 months, but opportunity to stay on with MicroTrack long-term is expected when complete, the final product may be distributed to, and customized for, as many as 50 other remote offices!

Please post this opportunity for your membership and feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. Thank you for you time.

Internet Commerce Expo

by Tom Rombouts

This year, Internet Commerce Expo will be held at the L.A. Convention Center. (It was in’Anaheim last year.) It is essentially from Sept 9th through the 11th.

Although not nearly as big as Internet World, anyone who is doing (or thinking of doing) web commerce will probably enjoy spending at least two hours or so at the exhibits. This also includes anyone using the web to promote a traditional business.

You can register for a free exhibits pass through the Friday the 15th at:

www.idg.com/ice

or by voice at:

1-800-667-4423

If anyone misses the deadline, I have some forms you can take with you to the show in September and use to get a free exhibits

It Can’t Get Any Easier.......

We’ve come up with an easy way to submit articles to the LA FoxDeveloperNewsletter one that has been overlooked for a long time.

You can submit your articles to Barry Lee at CIS# 72723,3422 on Compuserve, orbrlee@earthlink.net.

These articles can be on any FoxPro-related topic, whether it concerns a new technique you’ve discovered, a certain development technique you may favor over others, book reviews, etc. Editor reserves the right to edit or offer constructive comments concerning submitted articles and accepted articles shall be considered to be in the public domain.

The quality of this newsletter really depends on the members that support it, not just read it. And I think we’d all be surprised by the useful information that could be circulated around the membership.
