Foxpro alive at Tech-Ed's Press Room

As Craig points out, Visual FoxPro was mentioned time and again by Mary Jo Foley and other people in Tech-Ed's Press Room.

The Fox lives on as it is still is the best desktop-database and object oriented RAD development system out there. At Tech -Ed 2006 there were a couple of people sporting Fox T-shirts.

Surely you hear more from the PR machine about Java, C# or other more sexy languages but there are countless Fox programs and developers toiling away daily in every country oin the world.

Just look at the TIOBE ratings (admittedly not very scientific) but it gives you an idea that VFP is out there as it is still in TIOBE's "A" list as of July 2006.
