We had a slight breather during the afternoon break, which was complimented with gourmet cookies and sodas (what, no Milk?)

Ken spent the rest of the day showing us how the whole framework works, how it is put together, and answering questions. We were surprised that a lot of the stuff from GENSCRNX had moved over to this new environment.

Ken ended the session with one last thrill, by showing how to create a builder for a builder which can be utilized for building Web pages as well. As the audience roared, Ken yelled “BuilderB is dead, long live BuilderWebX”.

Corn facility features a Pacific Bell DS3 backbone and a TI backup from UUNet, as well as redundancy and backup measures including a diesel generator. They’ve made us feel welcome at their hosting service and have supported our needs very well. If the support they’ve given us so far is any indication of their future support then we should have one of the best sites on the Web very soon.

We’ll be hosting our site on Dev-Com’s Windows NT server, and their excellent support of Microsoft’s software will enable us to develop the site using a full range of Microsoft’s state-of-the-art applications including Active Server Pages and ODBC connections to FoxPro tables.

Arnon Gal-Oz, VFUG’s technical Manager, is in charge of putting the site together. He is very busy and is doing a great job getting the new VFUG ready. We will be online by June 1st and Arnon will be pulling some technological minor miracles getting VFUG into full swing. Arnon is well versed in the latest Microsoft (MS) technology and has been a featured speaker at MS presentations in Israel.

Scot Becker, VFUG’s Marketing Manager, has been very busy with giving Arnon a hand getting the kinks out of the new VFUG site. Contact Scot if your interested in advertising on VFUG,

It Can’t Get Any Easier.......

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

You can submit your articles to Barry Lee at CIS# 72723,3422 on Compuserve, or brlee@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.
