Starting to get very psyched up for the training class in July and just wondered who all is going?  (Ivan needs to kow how much beer to bring) 

Would just be curious about other attendees, level of experience, kind of work you do, what you will be particularly looking for in the class, that kind of stuff. 

I have a feeling I'm going to find out there is a whole lot more to the framework and what it can do than I have so far imagined (and I have a pretty good imagination )

Anyway, I'm Charles Hankey.  I am an independant business consultant in Cleveland, OH.  An old guy who had a number of other careers in the US and abroad before I started designing software applications 25 years ago.  I do most of my work right now in VFP using the Visual FoXExpress framework with a SQL Server back end and besides my own client work I teach VFE for F1 Technologies and mentor VFE developers on their projects.

I am a real beginner in .NET but convinced I've made a good choice in using Strataframe to both flatten the learning curve and get me productive quickly.

I have a major client right now with whom I am spec'ing out a very big project - in Strataframe and SQL Server - so I'm very motivated

Would always be glad to hear from other here or at charleshankey@f1tech.com

See you in Texas!

Google maps make it look like it is just a block up to the underpass of the freeway and then a block down to Microfour (they are directly across the freeway from each other)  Seems a reasonable walk, even for an old guy like me

Glad to hear about the shuttle.  In that case, I think I'll see if I can do it without a car.  Plan to be in full geek mode and just concentracting on soaking up all the SF / .NET I can.  Big project coming up right after class and I am appropriately terrified/motivated

Charles, you are correct in that it is just across the highway from our location and would be an easy walk...you will just want to try and dodge the cars buzzing by in both directions   In all seriousness though, it isn't a far walk...even if you are being safe

Hi All,

I also will be joining the Gang In Amarillo for the July training. I worked with Visual ProMatrix frame work and for the FoxPro for 2.6 or below worked with the Fox Express, and was one of the first people that got involve with that.

Lately I moved to the .Net and I wished I moved a bit earlier.

Hi Trent,

I assume each one of us will have a connection to the internet while we do the training right? RJ45 or wirelless conncetion works great for us.

You will have a wireless connection and we have a limited number of RJ45 connections.  Wireless will be the preferred method.

that sounds just great.
