Features: This book first introduces the techniques and key technologies of Visual FoxPro development, especially providing an in-depth yet easy-to-understand explanation of how beginners can quickly get started and master Visual FoxPro programming. Then, it details the various processes of developing management information systems using Visual FoxPro through multiple practical system examples, including a supermarket inventory management system, vehicle management system, customer relationship management system, order management system, enterprise employee management system, and document management system. The book progresses layer by layer, starting with a simple system and gradually increasing in difficulty. Each chapter is interspersed with numerous techniques for Visual FoxPro development, while breaking the conventional approach of only teaching programming techniques without addressing development strategies. The book is permeated with software engineering principles, aiming to provide readers with software design concepts through the development of each system, offering both "fish" (direct solutions) and "fishing" (skills to solve problems independently). The accompanying CD-ROM includes the source code for each example, typical technical challenges, common issues and highlights of the corresponding cases, as well as video tutorials tailored for beginners. This book is suitable for technical personnel involved in developing database applications with Visual FoxPro, as well as readers interested in related technologies. It is also highly recommended for those with a basic understanding of Visual FoxPro who wish to learn and improve their skills.
