I like Ubuntu, I like Python and I really like Dabo. I have been using FoxPro for 19 years and it is still not easy putting together a completely new application. Although it was a very simple one built with the app wizard and then modified, I put together a distributable application in a little over two days with Dabo - and that was the first time. With the Dabo framework and controls it seems to me that you get a lot more from Dabo as part of the framework and therefore it is easier than VFP. I also developed it on Ubuntu and once it was working, copied it to Windows and it ran fine. I can not tell you how much I like Python. I am fairly new at it, but I find it pretty close to VFP so the learning curve is not that great - everything seems to work (does that need explaining?) - and I can do everything I want with Python where I would have to incorporate third party applications in VFP to accomplish the same thing.
Ed and Paul and all the folks on the Dabo list are always there for a quick answer to my questions. -- -- Jeff ------------------- Jeff Johnson j...@dcsoftware.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/4c2244ac.6030...@dcsoftware.com
