Hi Bernard, Well, what makes it wrong? The IT world changed quickly. Today HTML5, tomorrow ABCD6. That doesn't mean that everyone who chose HTML5 today is wrong tomorrow.
I'm not sure where I'm saying RealStudio made a bad choice? Nor am I saying that RunRev is going the wrong path, but it has to hurry making the next step. Objective-C is just the next stage in the evolution of C-languages. If you started learning C recently, then you probably started with C# or Objective-C and those will still be useful when the next C-generation appears. Your time hasn't been wasted on that. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage: http://economy-x-talk.com Twitter: http://twitter.com/xtalkprogrammer KvK: 50277553 Download the Installer Maker Plugin 1.7 for LiveCode here http://qery.us/za On 23 mrt 2012, at 12:21, Bernard Devlin wrote: > OK.
