Re: v12 Release Notes
Just a couple of points that I would like to make:
1. HTML/CSS/Javascript programming is ubiquitous
-- Phones
-- Watches
-- Major Appliances
-- Toys
-- Cars
2. A company by the name of RIM almost ceased to exist because of its failure to understand the full impact of the web/mobile environment. Why would you wish that on AlphaFive!
3. I am competitive as a company because of Alpha and its foresight to develop its web tools. I am web only since version 10 and have not looked back.
4. The subscription model works for my company and it is how I take delivery of all of my major software purchases - Office365, SolidWorks, RingCentral, and AlphaFive.
5. I have a manufacturing environment were I will be positioning iPods and iPads as kiosks connected to Alpha Anywhere V12 via an intranet. How frickin! cool is that!
6. Every issue that I have ever come across with AlphaFive -- despite frustration -- I have always found workarounds. When v10 was weak in its CSS/HTML handling you could always use external editors. The more robust the webside, the more robust any solution can and will become as other tools in javascript, and .net can be woven into the end product by the programmer. Yea that rocks...
7. I do think that there is a place for desktop applications, but not one that has not blurred the lines with the web programming standards.
8. The more robust the web side, the more robust the desktop. I do believe that in time their will only be Web. Because it will be ubiquitous.
