Summary: Most powerfull mid-sized database language available
Review: VFP has always been a very good choice to handle data in a fast development cycle business world, but VFP7 brings many UI improvements that make it even easier to get things done fast and get new developers up to speed. The addition of VB-like intellisense reduces the F1 trips to check for syntax. The new strong typing will help reduce run-time errors as they should be caught by the compiler. VFP handles up to 2G of data per table, and can have as many tables in a database as you like. It also handles multiple user connections very well. You don't have the restrictions of some databases like ACCESS. When your data get too big, you can easily move to any ODBC SQL server (MSSQL, Oricle,...). VFP scales and integrates with SQL very easily. VFP7 adds on to its ability to be a fast processor of data for asp pages, the ability to integrate with SOAP for real-time messaging.This is a great product for windows based data intensive development. I would suggest that anyone considering which language to use seriously consider VFP.

Summary: VFP web rocks!!
Review: VFP has always been about speed and now this version makes it extremely easy to put that database and string processing speed to use in VFP mtdlls and XML Web Services. For rapidly developing web apps, compare the speed, robustness, and scalability of VFP 7 to anything out there(yes, Oracle too) at a fraction of the price of other solutions.

Summary: GET IT!! NOW
Review: With all the fuzz round .NET quite a lot of developers seem to forget that desktop applications are still widely used. Well, with VFP one can create desktop apps that connect to the web just as easy. Either through the use of the browser or with web services, supply and consume XML webservices like a breeze and the web is your network.
Use just half the amount of lines you need in .NET to get things done and deploy your apps faster then a pure .NET developer can think of.
Get it, or even better get the latest and the best, VFP8.

Summary: The Only Database You'll Ever Need
Review: With Foxpro, you don't need ADO, recordsets, complicated SQL syntactical nightmares. It scales to incredible sizes, provides multi-user DB access right out of the box, has no overbearing customer facing run time licenses, and saves you big bucks. It connects smoothly to SQL server and Oracle. It exports data to Excel Spreadsheets with a single line of code. It's string handling is fast and efficient, and the environment focuses developers on data first. Version 7 has a few good enhancements like CursorToXML and .dll creation that make it worthwhile. The Intellisense is great if you don't already know the language.
I get more done with Foxpro in twenty minutes than most VB programmers do in a week!
