Microsoft Visual FoxPro

I don't have any experience with Microsoft Visual FoxPro. There's a job opening for Microsoft Visual FoxPro that I'd like to apply for. Do you think that if you have SQL Server and Access experience that you could learn Visual FoxPro quickly? Do you know where I might be able to download a trial version?

I'm not familiar with FoxPro but I guess it's pretty different from SQL Server.
Try searching in Google for Visual FoxPro tutorials, you should find lots of
useful information.. and I doubt you'll find free version of this product.

VFP Is very different to SQL Server / Access.

It can use SQL Server databases, but it is a whole new programming
language to learn. AFAIK, the current version of FoxPro will be the
last so I imagine that most foxpro work will be looking after legacy
systems.

Comments on this post

don94403 agrees: I used to program in the original FoxPro, and the language was like dBASE III, but I'm sure that VFP
is different, it may be closer to VB, but it's definitely very different.
