4.0 out of 5 stars This book does a good job introducing Visual FoxPro, November 3, 1997

By A Customer

Although the book was intended for VFP 3.0, it is an excellent introduction to FoxPro Object Oriented Programming. It is intended as a short introduction and command reference and it does that well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic reference for EXPERIENCED foxpro programers, August 25, 1998

By	John Eckstein (New York City, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I learned alot from this book and I have been programing foxpro from the dark ages in 1991! These guys know their stuff. If you program foxpro for money you need this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-buy for any VFP developer, February 18, 1998

By A Customer

Granor and Roche do an excellent job of explaining the treasures and pitfalls of VFP3. I found this book after I had been banging my head against a particular problem for several days, and was able to find the answer immediately, where no other book I had checked gave the answer. They document both how VFP3 works, and how it _should_ work. Most of the book still applies to VFP5, and presumably it will still be good under Tahoe.
