Speakers and sessions for Southwest Fox 2019 have been announced. We like to have at least one new speaker each year, and this year it’s Tracy Pearson, presenting sessions on calling VFP COM objects in C# applications and implementing automated builds for VFP applications.
Besides Tracy’s sessions, I’m especially looking forward to seeing the following sessions:
- Migrating to Git from Mercurial (Rick Borup): I use both Git and Mercurial so any tips I can learn from the master would be really helpful.
- Getting Started With PHP (Tamar Granor): I’ve done just a tiny amount of PHP and am interested in learning more about this popular web language.
- Design Considerations for Multi-Language Applications (Cathy Pountney): Stonefield Query is a multi-language application but I want to see what other considerations there are beside just message strings (such as MESSAGEBOX dialogs that Cathy mentions in her abstract).
- Look at X# and VFP Advanced: Is This the Next Visual FoxPro? (Eric Selje): both X# and VFPA are getting a lot of discussion on VFP forums lately and I’ve been wanting to learn more about them for a while.
- Making Sense of Cryptography and Certificates (Christof Wollenhaupt): we use a digital certificate to sign our applications and I use cryptography in a number of places but Christof is a “speaker’s speaker” who always presents thought-provoking sessions laced with his dry humor.
I am, of course, also fired up about doing my own sessions: Creating Dynamic Object-Oriented Reports and Menus and Adding Features to Your VFP Applications Using C#. I think the latter is going to be really useful for anyone wanting to add new features to their VFP applications that would be difficult to do in pure VFP code but relatively easy using .NET.
