So we headed out to the pizza place to continue the meeting for some beverages. It is not unusual for our group to do this and quite often the meeting after the meeting is as good or better than the original presentation.
There certainly was some fun discussion, several problems solved, and much Fox education being shared. We did not solve world hunger, but we figured out how vendors can reduce SPAM, discussed numerous gotchas with SQL Selects in VFP 9 (and how Craig needed to use SET ENGINEBEHAVIOR 70 to work around a UNION problem with character fields and memo fields), and probably a dozen or more detailed discussions.
I got home just about an hour ago and several people joined SednaX and specifically noted how Craig’s session inspired the decision to join.
I have not had a chance to review the video recording. We decided to try a digital video camera because of the last minute decision to record the event. I am going to send it to Craig for review and possible editing and then decide if we should make it available to the rest of the VFP Community. We are not video professionals, but it has a lot of value if it worked.
Indeed, the VFP World Domination Tour stop in Detroit was a big hit.
Yes indeed, thanks to Craig for sharing his knowledge and inspiration with us last night! I sure hope the video turns out since I know my brain did not capture all that was discussed.
I feel fortunate being able to attend the DAFUG meetings, we have had so many wonderful speakers, so much insight, so much material… Thanks to all who organize, sponsor and speak out our meetings!
