This step-by-step guide leads developers through the entire process of developing custom software beyond simply cutting code. Covering the other 90 percent of software development, this guide is ideal for the software developer who is comfortable with the technical aspects of developing an application and wants to improve the rest of the process. Topics include marketing, sales, specifications, price quotes, testing, installation, tracking bugs, hiring personnel, and getting paid. The processes and procedures explained in this book will prepare developers in small to mid-size shops for more than just writing software in a specific language—it will turn their organization into a complete, fully integrated MIS operation.

Visual FoxPro is the perfect front end for client-server applications. Its robust user interface, native local data engine and integral hooks into binding with remote data sources, and rich object model, combined with the powerful SQL Server database engine are an unbeatable combination. But with power and flexibility comes potential complexity. Client-Server Applications with Visual FoxPro and SQL Server teaches users how to put these two powerful tools together and take advantage of the best features of both.

Covered here are both the Desktop and Distributed exams in one book. Visual FoxPro certification is the way to present contract customers and employers with an objective assessment of one's technical skills as Visual FoxPro developer. Microsoft certification also provides contract customers and employers with additional confidence in their decision to contract with, or hire developers as they solve business problems and move forward in our data-driven, digital economy. Microsoft has moved their certification emphasis from knowledge assessment to measuring real-life skills. This study guide will assist developers in efficient, focused, VFP certification exam preparation.

A tutorial for novices and a reference for experienced users, featuring step-by-step guidelines for using Web Connection in a day-to-day manner as a developer, this book offers several development alternatives based on the user's style. Demonstrated are the building of two different applications, one easy and one more complex, and nearly two dozen trouble-shooting steps in case of problems. Also explained is the infrastructure of the Internet and, specifically, web applications. Once developers are comfortable building and deploying an application they are then shown how to take advantage of more complex framework features such as file-based versus COM configuration, extending the framework, data entry using object-oriented techniques, and asynchronous applications.

You own the domain, and as a professional, your email should come from there, not from some free online email service that makes people ask, "Are they still in business?" This book shows you how to use Google's excellent email system as your UI, your backup and your spam filter, available on all your devices, while still having email come from your domain. More than one domain? No problem! More than one user and/or mailbox? Solutions inside!

Software is not developed alone. At the very least, you've got users that you'll want to show the goods off to. And you may have testers, co-developers, sub-contractors, bosses, venture capitalists, and maybe a screenwriter or two in Hollywood that you'll want on board as well. OK, maybe not that last one.
 And they're all likely not gathered in your office all day long. So how do you collaborate with all of these folks?
 Enter the wiki.
 A wiki is a program that resides on a Web site which allows visitors to edit the pages. Changes made to the pages are tracked through a version control system where users can see what older versions of the pages looked like and who made the changes. It's a wonderful tool for collaborating on the creation of documents as well as an excellent repository for knowledge acquired by a group of people.
 And it's one of those tools that, once you include it in your software developer tooklkit, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. I've searched long and hard for a wiki that met my needs as an independent software developer, and DokuWiki is my choice.
 This book shows you how to set up and use DokuWiki, with the express purpose of setting up an infrastructure that's well suited for developer documentation.

Debugging Visual Foxpro Applications

Writing code is only half the battle in developing applications. Getting the bugs out is the other half which can be the frustrating part since, after all, bugs don’t just mysteriously appear in code—they have to be put there. But masterful debugging is more than a skill to be learned, it’s a frame of mind and almost a way of life. This guide takes developers into the head of a successful debugger, gives a new perspective on the mind set, and explores the myriad of tools that Visual FoxPro programmers have at their disposal. Topics covered include quality insurance, applying scientific methods to debugging, VFP debugging tools, and fitting into enterprise solutions.
