If the other frameworks are like VFP, then great. I thought you were talking about Add-On frameworks like VFE, MereMortals, CodeMine, etc. etc. etc.....that's the stuff I was referring to staying away from for a kid brand new to programming. iow, I don't want him to rely on Wizards and the like to get an understanding of the fundamentals. I think too many have learned that way and I think it hinders them when real trouble strikes and they can't figure it out because they've always relied on the Wizards. It all depends on the abstraction level. Someone at the VFP team level (low level, raw C++) views me perhaps that way like a view someone who uses a framework add on beyond VFP like I mentioned.
