WELCOME
For those of you around the globe who have never heard of DAFUG, we suggest you
click the "Who is DAFUG?" menu selection at left. This website exists
predominantly to serve the needs of Detroit's own neighborhood DAFUG members.
However, one of the most common and pressing needs of DAFUG members is to
interact with the world wide community of Visual FoxPro, and FoxPro (DOS and
Windows) developers. Your presence and input in this site is welcomed and

1)
Putting the Pieces Together for Web Development
By Toni Feltman of Quicken Loans [A Southwest Fox
rehearsal]
Up until recently I just didn't
"get" how all pieces fit together when it came to
Web Development. I knew and understood the basic
fundamentals like HTML, CSS, Javascript, ASP.NET,
and so on. What I never could fully grasp was how
the pieces should be assembled. I read articles,
watched videos, and even deployed a web site built
upon a simple web framework that someone else wrote.
I still couldn't make sense of it after following
the step-by-step directions. It was not until I
began to match up web techniques and components with
things I had done in Visual FoxPro that I really
started to understand.
This session will take
you on a journey building parallel systems (a simple
one) using both FoxPro and web technologies so that
you can better understand how to build web
applications using common architecture.
You
will learn:
- Basic web terminology and how it relates to
Visual FoxPro terms
- Using layers appropriately for various
application types (Web Terminology = Layers)
- How to quickly and easily build simple web
applications using your Visual FoxPro experience
- To understand how the web pieces fit
together and should be assembled
2) Anything else people want to talk about.
Are you interested in presenting to DAFUG? Show off
something cool in software development you believe
your peers might be interested in hearing about?
We are always looking for volunteers and topics (please email
or
)
Meetings are typically followed by food, FoxPro, and
developer discussion at a local restaurant.
