Alan, I also agree with you regarding the cost of Servoy which is crippling for 90% of the businesses I have ever dealt with, hence I like the one off IDE cost of RB with no runtime restrictions ... as in fact in .Net C#.
In addition to RB I am also developing in .NET (C#) with a view to taking a really good look at Mono on Linux now it seems to be sorted out and working. Between C# and RB and also a smattering of Python (which I love to bits by the way from a programming point of view .. take note Ed!) I think that I can just about cover all bases for development purposes, which is the main objective for any developer isn't it? Oh, and I forgot to add, anyone looked at this this new fangled VFP stuff? It's a data centric M$ product that seems to be pretty good but will never catch on <grin>. Just a thought, if M$ had never owned VFP and just released it onto the market as new technology I wonder what a stir it would cause in the programming world...... <dream, dream> Dave -----Original Message----- From: profox-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profox-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Alan Bourke Sent: 13 September 2011 09:47 To: profox@leafe.com Subject: RE: Anybody using VS Lightswitch On Monday, September 12, 2011 4:16 PM, "Tracy Pearson" <tr...@powerchurch.com> wrote: > > > > The cost of Servoy removed it from our options as well. That's the killer. If they are wanting to position themselves as the successor to VFP then they have to look at the types of people that use VFP and the size of application involved. They need to have something that a small dev shop can buy a handful of developer licences for, then use to produce small end-user applications that don't involve a ten grand server cost to implement. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/bd031ecabf2b60499200aab3dbb4a99973638...@ex-a-fpl.fpl.LOCAL ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
