Application Developers in Southern California

FoxPro developers who know me are aware that I’ve been working with and giving demos ofXML for over a year and a half now and it is generally my main topic(s) at conferences and user groups that I speak at. I’ve recently decided to work full- time with XML and related technologies.
on) May 26th, 1999, I accepted a full time position at DataChannel, Inc. in Bellevue, WA. DataChannel is the leader in Enterprise XML Information Solutions. I will be starting work at DataChannel full-time starting June 1st, 1999. Ofcourse I will still plan to be at DevCon in Palm Springs from June 5th-I 0th for the full event as I am speaking in sessions and various other events.

While
my presence in the FoxPro community will decrease, I’m sure you’ll still see me around various forums and user groups on occasion. I know the demand and usage of XML technologies will greatly increase for VFP developers in the near future, and I plan to stay informed on how VFP developers are using XML for application development and solutions.
My longstanding relationship with Microsoft and the Fox team in particular has been mutually beneficial. I am extremely excited about the next version of Visual FoxPro and Visual Studio, as well as other technologies in the works at Microsoft within the developer tools division. But at this point in my career, my passion and enthusiasm for working with XML and related technologies prevailed over my already existing great job consulting for Microsoft.
DataChannel Inc., founded in 1996, is a privately held company. DataChannel is an Enterprise Solutions company offering XMLbased, Information Management solutions and services. If you would like to know more about DataChannel, Inc., I suggest you check out their web site at:
