Thanks, Kevin! I'll check it out.

Let me chime in with an endorsement of Xojo. Free to try out
development for Desktop, Web and soon for iOS native applications.
Desktop allows for development on Windows, Mac and Linux. Web apps
are great for consumption on phones and tablets. To compile and
deploys stand-alone applications, you'll need a license. I find the
licensing costs to be reasonable.
As far as the language goes, it is very much like VFP: Object
oriented, single inheritance model. Did I mention it natively has
threads?
I think most VFP developers could be comfortable within 2 days.

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!)
