Dave,
I know you've already explained this before, but could you repeat how
you came to the conclusion that B4Android (or the other variations) was
the platform you wanted to jump to from VFP?
I'm in a similar situation now where I'm good with using VFP as a fat
client for Windows desktops, but tablets and phones are becoming more
and more desirable (and useful) for some of the tasks my fat-app does.
(I hear the wolves at the door and realize I can't ignore them forever.)
Thanks to others on this list I've also been making a serious effort
towards Python, but I confess I like the fences that VFP provides
(single IDE, lots of ways to do stuff, but a core VFP-way to do it.)
While Python is obviously flexible and powerful, I feel like I'm
standing in a huge open prairie with no idea which way to go.
Not looking for extensive reporting of your investigation prior to
choosing B4Android, just a succinct sales pitch (besides the obvious
price advantages!)
Thanks for anything you care to share.

Those of you who were either interested in or actually purchased/downloaded the
Basic4Android software that i rate very highly will be glad to know (Hopefully)
that the equivalent software for i(devices) is now available for a limited time
on a 2 year special discounted offer (All updates).
The iDE runs on a standard PC and you can either develop using a cloud based
MacOSX environment or using a Local MAC with the iOS device attached.
I have just converted over my Stock Application here at Flexipol onto iOS in
about 2 hours and that time included setting up the IDE for the first time!
Now that the same environment/language is available for Android, iOS and Jave
(B4J is COMPLETELY FREE!!!) it opens up a huge marketplace for developers.
http://www.basic4ppc.com/index.html All versions and free test downloads are
available from here.
B4i is available at: http://www.basic4ppc.com/android/b4i.html for $99 with 2
years updates and $125 if you want to use the Hosted Mac Builder.
Definitely Recommended
Dave
