Who should read this book?

This book is primarily written for Visual FoxPro developers who plan or have experience releasing at least one application into their customer ‚ s production environment. That said there are chapters in this book a non-coding project manager can use to ensure their projects are successfully deployed by their technical staff and for developers that write code for others to deploy. The title of this book is Deploying Visual FoxPro Solutions , but the reality is, this book is not entirely focused only on Visual FoxPro technology, it is based on strong principles that should be considered for deploying applications in any technology including Microsoft .NET, Visual Basic for Applications, Java, Delphi, and any other development tool and platform.

So, to summarize, the type of computing professional (or professional in training) that should read this book include:

• Visual FoxPro application developers

• Developers using tools and languages other than Visual FoxPro

• Information Systems Staff

• Technical Support Staff

• Project Managers

• Information Technology Managers
