Thanks. I'm home now so I get access to everything again.
Actually, I'm holding off building new libraries until J7 is released. I really want to find out how the GTK interface would go. Actually, I am currently learning how to develop applications in Cocoa and is hoping that the J-to-Objective-C interface would still work and I'm competent in Mac development by the time J7 comes out. I'm interested in these because a few months back ... I've run into an old friend of mine who sells Point-Of-Sale systems to apparel shops. He's expanded to the food industry and has a comprehensive back end system to support retail sales. The notable thing is that his system is still runs on Visual Basic 6. He actually looked for me because he needed someone to build a software interface for data for RFID's input. J is really good for this. We had a lot of laughs because a lot of P.O.S. for retail stores here in the Philippines still runs on MS-DOS with the application built using Clipper. We also discussed a lot of the politics of selling software but I got the impression that most retailers would not care less about the OS as long as it gets the job done. I have always felt that the GUI is one of the things that is holding J back. So I am excited with the J7GTK since it potentially could: 1. Lower the deployment cost because it would run on Linux (Ubuntu is my preferred ever since Chris introduced me to it). 2. Cross platform support could essentially allow penetration to class A business who prefers using Mac I feel that Eric's commitment to getting a browser based J is a step in the right direction. Although I am a believer in fat client systems, the continuing trend of better network access (I'm actually using a 4G network here at home with 1mbps connection) would boost web based application. Have you guys seen what Garage Games did with InstantAction.com? They provided a full 3d graphics engine that runs on a browser. How cool is that? ooops ... I'm rambling again. Going back to reading up on XCode. r/Alex On Jul 12, 2010, at 9:25 PM, John Baker wrote: > Alex, > > Here is direct link to the JServer class code. C# Project and source.
