FoxRockx

The first issue of FoxRockx, a new bimonthly magazine published by MVP Rainer Becker, is almost ready for release. The first issue has an introduction to VFPX by Rick Schummer, a Kitbox article from Andy Kramek and Marcia Akins, a how to-article from Tamar Granor, and part one of a two-part article presenting generic import classes by me.

If you're a current FoxTalk subscriber, the remainder of your subscription will automatically be honored as a FoxRockx subscription, as Rainer has taken over FoxTalk from Eli Journals. Something is also being done for Advisor Guide to Visual FoxPro subscribers, although I don't have details. For everyone else, subscriptions are inexpensive: $99 US/99 euros for online-only or $138 US/128 euros for online and printed copy. Subscriptions in North America will be available from Hentzenwerke Publishing.

The Web site isn't quite ready yet but they're working on it.

In addition to the magazine, another benefit is online access to past issues, including source code, of FoxTalk. As far as I'm concerned, that's worth the subscription price alone!

Please support this new magazine by subscribing as soon as subscriptions are available. This is the only magazine devoted exclusively to VFP, and like VFP conferences, this falls into a "use or lose it" category.
