consultants, and authors of Visual FoxPro, and also the people

who create exciting commercial applications and add-on

products.

Identify valuable add-on products and services. All conference

attendees can attend the Trade Show to explore the latest

products and technology from vendors of third-party software

and services. Suppliers of productivity tools, commercial

applications written using FoxPro products, FoxPro trainers,

publishing houses, authors, and other companies will present

their product’s features and answer your questions.

Network with your colleagues. Take advantage of this interna-

tional gathering of developers to meet people who can help you

solve your programming puzzles. Via the conference sessions

and social events, you’ll develop a valuable network of peers you

can consult to get it done. And you’ll make friends you can

enjoy seeing at other FoxPro developer conferences.

Who should attend? This is a technical education conference

for people who want to utilize the business-problem-solving

power of Microsoft Visual FoxPro 5.0, ActiveX technology,

Microsoft SQL Server, component creation, web technology and

all of the Microsoft Visual Tools to create world class solutions.

Attendees will also get a glimpse at the future of VFP and other

tools.

Conference sessions are desgned for many needs and empha-

sis, including IS staff and management, independent consult-

ants, professional developers, corporate and government

programmers, solution providers, trainers, and anyone who

wants to understand how to make the best use of the Microsoft

Visual FoxPro environment to solve problems.

What is DEVCON like? DEVCON is as intense a learning

experience as you want to make it. Sessions are presented all

day, and some evenings (with ample breaks, of course). You

can choose exactly what you need to create your optimum

education. When you’re not in a DEVCON session, you can

join colleagues and experts who are eager to hear your experi-

ences and share their wisdom. You’ll become a member of the

global FoxPro development community, and discover new keys

to your technical, professional, and personal satisfaction.

Leave your wool suit at home. DEVCON dress is always casual!
