I know there has been lots of discussion on this topic since I joined the list and I know many Rev'ers on this list have converted to Rev as their dev language of first choice.
I'm having a continuing conversation with my provider about using his sever to serve my Rev app. First was he highly recommended MSSQL, which the list took exception to. Then I suggested he take a look at RunRev as a development tool himself (hoping to get some local expertise using Rev on a server) and here was his reply... "it is more of scripting language that a real programming language which is awesome for the non-technical developers like me and you, but is not a true object oriented application language which is being taught in universities." I don't know what to say about that. Are there are x-talk/OOP languages that are compiled, or, a difference between an OOP and an x-talk language, or, maybe he just assumed that Rev is not a true OOP on first glance? ...
