Default How is Fox doing these days? - 11-10-2004 , 08:49 PM






Hello, everyone.

I've been out of Fox for over 4 years now, and just recently received
some FoxPro/VFP maintenance as an assignment. So it looks like I will
actually get to use some of my Fox skills.

At the same time, I am considering looking for employment near coastal
North or South Carolina, Georgia, or maybe even the Florida panhandle.
I'm currently a C# developer, but am wondering if having Fox
experience is a significant plus on my resume. (I ask this because
I'm not seeing as much C# as I'd like to see.)

Can anyone tell me how Fox is doing these days? Is it in decline,
job-wise, or is it making a comeback, or just staying steady? It
seems to be that language tools are somewhat regional, so I suspect in
the areas I'd like to move, there isn't much Fox. But I guess you
never know.

Any (random or otherwise) thoughts are welcome!

Thanks,
Brian

it's alive and well; vfp9 beta is available for download. There are jobs out
that way that I've seen posted on dice.
