FoxPro - Visual FoxPro

 
Philosophy

Design is everything.  Up front design is the most important part of FoxPro and Visual FoxPro.  Most people don't put nearly as much effort into the initial design as they should.  The time spent is paid off several fold in lower development and maintenance costs.  Screens (user interfaces) should be simple and uncluttered.  Complex screens should be split into pages.  Keep databases simple and relationally connected.  Follow the rules of normalization, but be ready to break the rules if it makes more sense.
