Re: Home brewers
You would need to make the distinction about developing in house. I am strictly an in house developer, although some of what I do or plan to do might find it's way into a commercial app eventually. Would I be considered a home-brewer or a pro? I am certainly still an amateur! Bob On Oct 3, 2012, at 9:20 AM, Timothy Miller wrote: On Oct 2, 2012, at 1:58 PM, J.

Re: Home brewers
I think LC is a PERFECT tool for developing in house and being a home-brewer. What is even better is when you decided to go commercial and go big because you have developed an amazing product, you are still using the same tool to do it!

Re: Home brewers
This is my classification as well. Though with the use of tablets really gaining traction in the company, it is may become important to have a tool I can use on desktop as well as mobile.

By home-brewers I mean amateurs developing for their own use. 1. I develop in-house software for my language school; all programs running on either Linux (Ubuntu) or Mac OS 10.4. 2. I develop a piece of commercial software (Devawriter Pro) for Macintosh and Windows, and, ultimately, Linux. All my software development is done in my bedroom. Does that make me a home-brewer? Certainly seems that your categories are a bit too neat, and have too sharply defined boundaries to make sense in the real world. Home-brewers don't normally work cross-platform. Professional developers usually do, I suppose. Is LC the preferred tool for non-pros developing for their own use? If not then what is?
