Hello Paul,
My consulting business didn't focus on creating desktop apps for
resale. There are a lot of Xojo developers that do however. I was
focusing on developing custom software for small and medium businesses
and Xojo is an excellent tool to rapidly develop solutions for the business.
I've taken a full time job with our county government and I'm developing
Xojo applications for them. Most of them are internal-only web
applications to ease in getting the updates into the hands of the people
that need them. Just deploy the updated web app and I'm done! Just as
it should be. My users literally state that they would quit their jobs
if their custom written web apps were taken away from them.
Here are some of the Xojo apps that I've written in the last 2 years:
* A web application that allows the building inspectors to see their
building inspections for the day, bulk re-assign the inspections in
the case that an inspector is sick or on vacation, and to print a
report of the inspections with the private notes from the requestor
that might have the gate codes, loose dog on property info, etc.
* A web application that allows for document review by the building
inspectors allowing them to review affidavits and engineer letters
pertaining to permits. The inspector can then accept or reject the
letter in the case the letter doesn't meet the requirements. If the
letter is rejected, then an email goes to the primary contact on the
permit explaining the reason the letter is rejected. All data
changes are logged to an audit table.
* A desktop/web hybrid application that does data mining / graphing of
the data pertaining to building permits, planning applications, and
business licenses. This "Dashboard" application generates dozens of
charts and publishes the data to various department websites for
display. It takes 8 seconds for all of the data to be queried and
the charts generated. It's run twice a day automatically and then
terminates when done.
* The road-inventory application allows for the querying of roads in
the counties and tracks their condition and history of maintenance.
When the Roads & Bridges department finishes one job, it is far
easier and cheaper to move their equipment to close-by roads and
this application allows them to do so more efficiently.
* Our fleet department has a vertical market application but it has
some limited reporting capability. I'm writing a web application
that allows for more flexible reporting that doesn't require an
install or a license for the vertical market application.
I don't think that's a bad list of applications for less than 2 years on
the job! Xojo rocks just like Foxpro rocks.

Are you using Xojo for desktop applications for resale? If so, are you pleased
with how it works for that purpose?
