Servoy to Sponsor SouthWest Fox Conference: Oct. 15-18
For the third year in a row, Servoy will be a Gold Sponsor and Exhibitor at Southwest Fox -- the annual conference hosted for FoxPro users. Developers who have used FoxPro in the past are finding that they love Servoy. Microsoft has announced they will no longer be revving this popular 4GL tool; and will stop support for the product entirely in 2015. As a result, many FoxPro users are looking for the "next step" -- and Servoy is a great alternative. For more information about the SouthWest Fox Conference, please visit: www.swfox.net/. And don't forget to check out the FoxPro landing page on the Servoy website at: www.servoy.com/foxpro.
