3	Introduction In the beginning... ...there was networking The vision establishes the ground rules Achieve it with a consultative mind set… Broad and deep seizes the opportunity You can make the planets align A little archaeology "Sure, I can..."
4	Setting the Stage
5	DEMO
6	Alphabet Soup Architecture VR/TTS/SALT/MSS NLU/EQ SQL/FTI SOAP RFID, PDA, WiFi IIS/JS/HTML/CSS/ASP VFP, COM...
7	Alphabet Soup Architecture
8	Interlude - A .NET Story The black hole that is VS.Nyet... It's a code generator, not a development environment Notepad to the rescue! Markup, markup, markup
9	Visual FoxPro is Key VFP is the glue... “It's the middle-tier, stupid...” It builds web pages It handles web-sourced requests It talks to SQL/EQ It creates TTS responses It does all the heavy-lifting Expose all of the non-GUI power of VFP to the web We bow to Rick and Craig

11	Geez, What’s Next? What could we possibly do with all this? You could write a FoxTalk article, for one thing Hands-free, eyes-free applications Simplified navigation of complex information on thin devices Reduces application training costs Improved accessibility to information If you have an MSDN subscription, you can do this You're looking at the future of almost all applications... ...and the end of many UI approaches as we know them The opportunity is HUGE!
