Modern Development Technology and VFP

This was presented by Christof Wollenhaupt at Southwest Fox 2024: https://swfox.net When VFP 9 was released 20 years ago, the world of software development was a vastly different one than today. What we take for granted didn't even exist until the following year (Git, YouTube), or even later (Twitter, Stack Overflow). Along with the tech stack (I'm sure we didn't use that term back then), a lot of approaches to software development changed. In this exploratory session, we look at a variety of different development technologies and see whether they can apply to VFP or not, how they can apply, what they are, where to find more information about them, and how they connect to other pieces that you might come across. This includes: specific development approaches such as SOA and micro services; architectural patterns like dependency injection, inversion of control, asynchronous development; new approaches to application design such as package managers (FoxGet) and tool distribution; changes in IDEs like the release of VS Code, the popularity of CodeSpaces new tooling like refactoring, automated documentation, code quality checks; the shift from software to infrastructure with DevOps, Azure, Pipeline; new expectations in customer support with In-App chats, video tutorials; challenges to our profession with the increasing use of CoPilots, ChatGPT, and even artificial developers. Due to the wide variety of topics, we will only cover each topic briefly.
