I started writing this “series” of entries a bit ago. Yes, it has been a while since I wrote anything, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t been working on it.
After thinking over converting my database to MySQL, I decided that the licensing issues may be too risky if I decide to market and sell […]

I just wanted to give you a friendly reminder that the next price bump or FoxForward is coming up this weekend. Either way, it is still great value at $450 by this weekend, or $550 thereafter.
We’d love to have you attend the conference. There will be plenty of Fox presentations, as well as […]

Through a convergence in The Force, two conference deadlines are about on the same day!
FoxForward and Southwest Fox conferences both have their registration deadlines at the end of June. If you are planning to attend one of these conferences, it is a good idea to help save a bit and register before the deadline. […]
