Boy I was your man. I know Foxpro and Livecode well. I actually expanded some SBT modules and when I got really good, I wrote my own new ones. Too bad, Ida come on board.

Then we got a new set of investors and could afford to write more of our industrial things in-house and wanted to hire people who would be willing to work in LC. That was hard to do. We wanted things like git repos once we got a bigger team (before opensource when things like that were still hard for LC). I think the decision boiled down to just wanting more mainstream processes for development and being able to find programmers we didn't have to train from scratch. So the decision was made to become a .Net shop and phase out the livecode applications we had been using since then with .Net web apps and desktop clients. I guess you could say we just outgrew livecode's abilities at the time and couldn't wait for the new ones to be available. It was more of a convenience issue than than a showstopper for us. I keep waiting to go back and show off some amazing new stuff the new livecode features introduce, but so far I have been forced to keep waiting for that thing that can sell us on doing some things in livecode still. _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
