Cross-platform is a 'must-have' feature in my book for whatever tool I'll add into my toolbox. Python and Real Studio are just two good approaches. The Mac desktop environment is really growing in homes and businesses. Linux desktop adoption is tiny but guess what most web servers run ... Linux. Having Real Studio compile to Linux was key to a good roll-out for the Web Edition even though it's not using the GTK libraries for the Web Edition.
Coming up, Real Software will be completing their migration to the LLVM compiler next year, or in early 2013. Once that is completed, Real Studio will gain 64bit compilations and additional platforms such as <<drum roll please>> native iPhone (iOS) support. Once iOS support is available you will be able to choose an 'iPhone Application' as a project type within Real Studio and it will display the designer with applicable phone controls, events, properties, and methods. Python is a great tool, don't get me wrong. I promise you that there are many, many, many more Python jobs than Real Studio jobs but the transition to Real Studio was trivial and fit better with my mindset. -Kevin On 06/23/2011 04:12 PM, MB Software Solutions, LLC wrote: > For me, the appeal is the cross-platform aspect.
