| Program Your Data with Powerful New COM, XML, and Web Services Support, Erik Moore |
| Visual FoxPro 7.0 represents a significant improvement over version 6.0. There are many
new features designed to support COM, XML, and Web Services. Now COM servers built with Visual FoxPro are
more flexible and robust thanks to strong typing and the ability to implement interfaces from other type
libraries. IDE features like the new object browser combine convenience and efficiency, and other language
features such as event handlers and early binding to COM objects increase performance. Lastly, an enhanced
session class plus several new XML functions make Visual FoxPro a great choice for Web application
development. |

| Introduction to N-Tier System Architecture, Jim Booth |
| Visual FoxPro excels at the middle, or business logic, tier of the N-Tier model.
Because of the built in Data Management Language (DML) of Visual FoxPro it is a prime candidate for
manipulating data from a server and presenting it to an interface. Also, the ability to create OLE Public
classes with Visual FoxPro allows for divergent interfaces and databases to use the same middle tier object
to communicate with each other. |
