Discussion:
Searching for FoxPro Work & a Change in Work Status...

Hey there folks,

I'm writing this email mostly as a way to do some Networking.

So - on Fri I was laid off from my day job. The reasons kinda sucked,
and its kinda complicated. Suffice it to say I didn't do anything truly
Bad - I was just not doing the Right stuff according to some people.
But, Others there - they will FREAK out on Mon. when the word gets
around the co. that I was Fired!

As many of you know - 3D Design and 3D Printing is my real passion. And,
I WILL now be trying to make some true progress in that regards to
making money. Actually going to see a patent lawyer associate of mine
today to discuss some of my projects, and getting a patent on one or
more of them.

However, I need a kind of backup plan. Thus why I am looking around for
VFP work. So - if anyone knows of anything in the NYC area - or even
work that I can do remotely - I would really appreciate it!

Oh - FYI - I did get one thing - as they agreed to pay me for the full
month of Dec. - which isn't too shabby as far as severance packages go -
although not that great.

L8r,

Kurt

That sucks Kurt.
My company is cutting back on staff (nobody else knows yet).

I live in London so can't help you with contacts.
VFP is long dead I'm afraid. Most recruiters will not know what it is.

Do you know any other languages? Especially C# or Java?
Many people using fox (or related languages) will be looking to move
to a more modern platform.

There's still a lot of fox/xbase stuff out there.

Some of the Fox stuff that I've seen lately has come with the requirement
to relocate. I'll keep my ears open for anything that might fit the bill
for you tho.

I don’t understand the condescension about anything that isn’t VFP. I moved on to more a *modern* platform (Python) over a decade ago because I wanted to have more opportunity than an EOL’d product like VFP offered. Marketing had nothing to do with it. What was important was that this was an open language, and some corporate bigwig could not shut it down and stop development, as Microsoft had done with VFP.

Ed,

There’s no condescension to understand, just I don’t see anything more modern in languages created in the 25 last years; whether the value of last statement is implicitly returned or you declare the value you intend to return is just a matter of preference close to a gadget, I don’t see any additional benefit for the user, or productivity gain, as other techs can bring; eg. Web compared to desktop as it allows deploying an app in 10s of additional work places without installation hassle, and/or dependency on the client OS.

Eg. I work extensively with JavaScript, which I like, however I see nothing more modern than in VFP… automatic coercion is fine as long as you perfectly know the type precedence and how it works behind the scene; and in the end the program is not easier to read than a VFP program, even harder IMO.

My ultimate point is that the language/computer science failed to go very far beyond the progress brought by 3rd generation languages, probably because the large editors refused to join their efforts into a shared standard (like it finally happened in the W3C) and left the initiative to the free initiative of genius computer scientists, or groups of.

A final word to pretend that, within the thought framework exposed above, building a responsive web app with VFP + FoxInCloud is far more modern than with C# or whatever other server-side language, whatever server-side framework like asp.net, and whatever client-side framework like Angular and Bootstrap: more simple, productive, and easier to maintain

Another comment on this point which I still don’t understand, even if I heard and read it over and over for the last 10 years…

This would be an issue ONLY if VFP applications could no longer evolve and follow the pace of new techs and user demands. And fortunately it’s not the case, thanks to its extensibility provided by the Fox Team. And there’s even no threat that the apps would no longer work because of an OS change.

So what’s the point, other than convincing oneself that ‘other languages are more modern’, just like we used to say that some races were superior to others (excessively provocative metaphor)?

Languages are very similar to cultures; it’s up to those who live this culture to decide whether to grow with it, or adopt the neighbor’s culture. To surrender or rebel.

Keep in mind what happened with Netscape / Mozilla vs Internet Explorer. While IE had 99% market share and a lot of proprietary extensions (remember ‘behaviors‘?) which made IE far more modern than Netscape, the Netscape dev team created Mozilla and fought a tremendous up-hill battle, both technical and psychological, to finally almost kick IE out of the market (to the benefit of Chrome, ironically).

FYI -  had a 1st interview via phone today - and, I think I'm a Shoe-In
for this Gig!

(Is this "shoe-in" still used as a common phrase - or only by OLD people
such as Me?)

Why? Cause exactly how many VFP programmers are still out there working
in the world? Well - lucky for me - Seems there is STILL a NEED! Hell -
we ALL of us here know of some Old Apps still in the field - still in
VFP - and STILL Working! So - now its my time to quickly get acquainted
with this app at this new potential Gig!

Tomorrow is an Inperson interview. I should have no problem with that.

But, will report back as to the Outcome.

A Youngster? HA ha - maybe. I've been working with the Fox since
Foxbase+ in 1988. Although, will admit - over the years I had chunks of
time where I wasn't working w/Fox - when I got other Gigs. Like working
for a year doing programming at a co. for VR games played against a
green screen. So - although the time span is 30 yrs - it may possibly be
a total of like 25-27 of actually working with The Fox!

And - thanks for your well wishes.

FYI - had a 1st interview via phone today - and, I think I'm a Shoe-In for this Gig!

(Is this "shoe-in" still used as a common phrase - or only by OLD people such as Me?)

Why? Cause exactly how many VFP programmers are still out there working in the world? Well - lucky for me - Seems there is STILL a NEED! Hell - we ALL of us here know of some Old Apps still in the field - still in VFP - and STILL Working! So - now its my time to quickly get acquainted with this app at this new potential Gig!

Tomorrow is an Inperson interview. I should have no problem with that.

But, will report back as to the Outcome.

The last commute to work required going into NYC (from LI) - then a
subway train all the way downtown from Penn St. - the new job would be
only a couple blocks from Penn St. - so it cuts out the extra subway
