B4A, B4J and B4I which covers the Android, iPhone and PC Windows/Linux platforms.
As many of you know I have used this now for about 4 years and have been extremely impressed, in fact amazed at what you can actually do with the product. Now I am starting to look at full Virtual Reality using an Oculus headset driven by B4A and hopefully will have something to show in the next few weeks. Like the fox, there are many ways to do things and the availability of addon libraries is fantastic. Erel, the main developer is forever helpful and keeps putting out updates to the product on a regular basis. Other than that, T-SQL as others have said as well as C# (M$ Visual Studio). I still really want to get into Python but never seem to have the time. Maybe when I reach retirement age next year!

(was Re: TaskPane entry for ProFox outdated) In a similar vein I noticed this recently. https://www.b4x.com/b4j.html "B4J – Modern “VB6 like” development tool for cross platform desktop, server and IoT solutions B4J is a 100% free development tool for desktop, server and IoT solutions. With B4J you can easily create desktop applications (UI), console programs (non-UI) and server solutions. The compiled apps can run on Windows, Mac, Linux and ARM boards (such as Raspberry Pi)." I think some folk here used their 'BASIC For Android' product which now seems to be called 'B4A'. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm On Tue, 14 Feb 2017, at 02:14 PM, Kevin J Cully wrote: > I'm going to chime in for Xojo ... again.
