Topic: Guineu Project
The Guineu project is one of the most promising solutions to the VFP developer to be able to extend the viability of the language we all love. Being run by Christof Wollenhaupt, one of the brightest minds in the Fox community, the Guineu project is a replacement set of runtime DLL's that run your compiled VFP code in a .NET environment.
So what does that mean for us, for starters your VFP application can now run on most platforms that support .NET. This includes future versions of MicroSoft OS, Linux, PDA's, and web pages.
Currently the project is still very young and is far from being complete, but it already provides usable functionality and is being updated aggressively. I will show how to take a simple existing program, compile it with Guineu, and run it in Windows, Linux, PDA, and a web page.
More information can be found at www.foxpert.com and the beta is available free.
