Servoy

I saw the Servoy ad and downloaded the program. Is anyone familiar with it? Any opinions? I do not see where Servoy is the successor of VFP

I watch one Demo of it and was not impressed and the "A CPU license is $5,000 per year" is way too rich for me and my client base. But even with all that it is possible for me to change from my first impressions.

It's an intriguing platform, and I did check them out. (Their California office was down the street from us, so they courted us.)

At the time, I was working on a vertical market app installed in 46 of 50 states at customers ranging from mom & pop shops to the Fortune 50.

I just couldn't get enough details from them about how it might work in our scenario and they wouldn't even discuss pricing. ($5k per CPU would have been a total *NO*.) They seemed mostly interested in selling consulting contracts to get you converted.

I do know that Ken Levy is doing a lot of work with them these days so perhaps they've improved their story?

I downloaded it out to check it for making iPhone apps. The iPhone environment just kept failing with errors whenever I tried to get anywhere with it - and this was following the guide supplied. So after wasting many hours with it, I gave up and it has since been binned.

Plus, as mentioned above, the price tag put us off.

I like work. It fascinates me. I can sit and look at it for hours...
