Return to Clipper 3

[MadJock]

Hi,

I'm considering brushing up on my Clipper knowledge - I've not used it for about 3 years.

Can anyone recommend any good books / websites?

Thanks in advance,

Graeme

Hi Graeme,

The last 3 years no new clipper books have been written / published.

Look at the link-page on

http://www.tek-tips.com

for official links.

Here are some of the links I used to use...

http://www.clippersolutions.com/

http://www.ghservices.com/gregh/

http://members.brabant.chello.nl/r.vangelder/rvgcc/cclinks.html

Probably this forum will be the best place to get info on clipper problems.

Good luck and enjoy clipper,
Rob.

I'm not sure if it is still available - perhaps on ebay? - but I would always recommend the 'Clipper Programming Guide' by Rick Spence

ISBN 0-915391-31-7

Not sure how up to date this link is:

http://www.emsps.com/oldtools/books/booksclipper.htm

But... they have a copy!

Was also going to advice Rick Spence's book and so I am adding more information that may be useful in searching.

(1)
The series was part of "Data Based Advisor" by Lance Leventhal.
(2)
I believe that the he book is still availabale (in hard copy) in countries like India (where I come from) and so if you have any friends going to / coming from India .. You know ..

End

And don't forget to have a look at the new 'Clippers' like (x)Harbour & XBase++

-

http://www.xharbour.org

(Open source 32 bit Clipper compiler)
-

http://www.xharbour.com

(Commercial support to the above)
-

http://www.harbour-project.com

(Slower developing predecessor of xHarbour.org)
-

http://www.alaska-software.com

(Commercial closed source 32 bit Clipper dialect)

All support full OO, and xHarbour has many C-like enhancements.

Does anyone have a direct link where you can download a copy of the xharbour compiler. I have been to the site and cant't find the download.
