Announcements from Southwest Fox 2016

Southwest Fox was once again a great success. Attendance was down only two people from the previous year, and since attendance seems to go in two-year cycles, that bodes well for next year.

Here are some announcements made at the conference:

• Southwest Fox 2017 will be held October 26 – 29 at the SanTan Elegante Conference Center in Gilbert, AZ (not in Canada, as I joked in the closing session, because 50% of American attendees will be moving there after the elections in November).
• The 2016 VFPX Administrator’s Award went to Marco Plaza for his work on nfJSON, nfXML, and nfRegExpTest.
• The 2015 Speaker Award went to Bobby Spyros Drakos (an Xbase++ speaker).
• You can watch the first part of the keynote at SWFoxTV and Phil Sherwood's "You 2.0" keynote on YouTube: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 (unfortunately, the audio isn't very good).

DBI Offers New Control to Southwest Fox/Xbase++ Attendees

DBI is giving away a full license of Calendar COM (ctxCalendar) to each Southwest Fox/Southwest Xbase++ 2016 attendee. Calendar COM is a really great Outlook style scheduling control with three fully extensible views baked into one control: a multi-column Day View (a multiple day appointment scheduler for one resource or multiple resource appointment scheduler for one day at a time), a Week View Appointment Scheduler, and a Month Calendar / date picker. It comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

DBI has been a long-time supporter of Southwest Fox and we thank them for their generous support once again this year!
