You can use report assistant (gui) to do most of the work then tweek the code in the editor if necessary. The focus language is very easy to learn. The SQL experiece you have from Access and Crystal is a good foundation and you can incorporate SQL into your foc-execs.
My team of 4 moderately skilled developers rolled out a major reporting site within 3 months of purchasing the product with no prior Focus/webFocus experience. Learning the Web deployment was the more difficult aspect. You'll need HTML and JavaScript to deploy self serve applications on the web outside of the WebFocus MRE.
Once you get the basics down, learn "Dialog Manager" and "Modify" syntax. These will give you greater control over your data. Modify allows input to Focus tables as well.
