Excellent Book for anyone

This is the best book I have ever read on Foxpro.

A "How To" Book That Really Tells How TO

This is one of the best "how to" books I have ever read because it solves more mysteries than it creates. I feel this book does an outstanding job of explaining the hybred (sort of) object oriented concept of the FoxPro Read Clause (event). Having formally studied Visual Basic, I came to Foxpro as a refugee from DBASE (pre-windows) and found myself struggling to figure out what the events were and when they happened. This book cleared it all up for me. Foxpro itself is a bit clutsy and obscure but this book explains even those parts instead of just leaving one to wonder how it is that the packaged sample code does what it does.
