Since my beginner development with web base data base connectivity started
on the Mac platform years ago with File Maker Pro and File Maker Pro Web
Companion. Tango was there. It was my understanding then, Tango gave you the
ability to do things File Maker Pro an/or with Web Companion, that Web
Companion couldn't do by itself. From the Mac developer standpoint at the
time it was the leader in data base / web connectivity. I moved to CF
because of greater base usage of the Windows OS platform and the
availability of work. I didn't know that they had Ideas of ported it over to
other OS platforms. If you are a ripened CF developer, Tango will be a
breeze to pick up. And now the Mac OS base is growing like a wild fire.
Consider this; Apple has take the Apache Server, BSD Unix and Java and
wrapped the Apple GUI functionality around the advanced Mach Kernel in Mac
OS X Server. Add the Darwin video streaming capability and QuickTime 4 the
standard in nonlinear editing format. (Media 100, Premiere, Final Cut Pro
and Avid nonlinear editing systems are based on this format, just to name a
few. Also, Apple's huge financial investment in Akami. Akami's rapidly
growing network infrastructure of QuickTime streaming severs all over the US
and the world. Oracle has developed a QuickTime serving data base that will
be released soon. With bandwidth growing from the likes of DSL & cable
modems. Nobody can't stop the telecommunication companies AT&T, Sprint, Time
Warner/ / AOL from buying up ISP's and TV cable providers. I can safely
assume that Tango isn't going anywhere. Tango was the industry standard for
the Mac OS platform. Apple is selling more computers now, then ever in the
history of Apple Computer. Mac OS isn't going anywhere. If you can take your
skills that you have learned with CF, spend a couple of weeks getting
familiar with Tango. It will only expand you as a developer, your value in
the work force and marketability within this industry.
I do not work for Apple or Tango.
