Foxpro was created in early 80's (originally as FoxBase - 1984?) by Fox software and supported on Mac OS, Unix, DOS, Windows platforms. It was known as the fastest database engine on PCs then. Later on 1992, unfortunately, it was acquired by Microsoft. After Microsoft's taking over, in 1994 Foxpro for DOS (FPD) and Foxpro for Windows (FPW) 2.6 released. At the end of 1995, Foxpro got the name 'Visual' and the platform support was only limited to windows. It was also the first version of Foxpro where the language turned out to be Object Oriented.
Microsoft's official Visual Foxpro (commonly referred as just VFP) site describes it as:
Microsoft® Visual FoxPro® database development system is a powerful tool for quickly creating high-performance desktop, rich client, distributed client, client/server, and Web database applications.
Visual Foxpro 9.0 (portable) yohoi. Buat yang mau download visual foxpro versi portable (dari pada repot-repot nginstall) silahkan mampir dulu kesini ( disitu ada sekilas tentang foxpro ) buat yang ga sabaran males baca nie. Gambarnya kerenn kan (mungkin ini alasan utama kenapa gw milih menggunakan Foxpro).
Although it is an old language, it is still considered to be the easiest language for creating a data centric application rapidly for the windows desktop. If what you need is to create a data based application for windows desktop then choosing VFP you would really do that easily and fast.
What is Microsoft Visual FoxPro?
Microsoft Visual FoxPro is an object-oriented database management system that uses a relational model for database construction and development of applications. The program enables users to develop and manage 32-bit database applications, specifically client/server applications, or applications from the desktop onto the Web.
The program provides data builders and tools that enable the user to develop applications. The Application Wizard provides the user with ready application components that can be utilized for the creation of an application. Wizards are also provided for creating tables, forms, cross-tab query, database, documenting or for Web publishing purposes. All available wizards can be viewed and accessed from the Wizards Overview option.
Other tools provided with the software include tools for modifying existing controls, adding a combo box to forms, and building a grid control. The Form Designer allows the user to create forms without the need for programming. It provides an interface that allows the developer to create a single form or multiple forms. The feature allows for adding of fields into the form through drag and drop mode.
