I wanted to send this to the list, because I think you make some excellent points here. Also just for the record, I'm not necessarily saying I think do web apps for smart phones is better. I'm merely providing POV from someone working in the tech start-up space that that's what the industry is

It always amazes me that these discussions inevitably devolve into arguments about the tools. When people discuss new features for cars, like switching to hybrid or electic technology, do they spend most of their time talking about battery chemistry or the electromagnetic properties of

Delphi is just as easy to use as VB, if not easier. Have you looked at it lately? It’s just not considered “mainstream” any longer. People say, “Oh, is THAT still around?” Yup. Check it out. http://embarcadero.com They also have a tool they now call HTML5Builder or something along that

I am confused. I need to start over. SO to do so I need to know what to delete. I think it is as easy as exiting back to the host system shell then: cd /mnt/lfs; rm -rf * and then I just need to start over from the point after I mkdir /mnt/lfs. Is this correct? :-)~MIKE~(-:

I think you're mostly right but missing the larger point here. Mobile platforms aren't like their much more open desktop brethren. In the world of mobile you more or less get the tool chain provider by the vendor (Java, Objective-C or Swift) for native apps. While I expect professional

It's been a while since I did an LFS install, but I assume you have a partition mounted on `/mnt/lfs`. If that's the case the easiest thing is to recreate the filesystem. Imagine mount shows something like: /dev/sdb1 on /mnt/lfs type ext4 (rw) You would un mount the filesystem: umount

In the 80's I began to develop using dBaseII, then dBaseIII... dBaseIII+, foxBase+, Clipper 87, Visual FoxPro. It was a great file server database system that was probably the best tool on the market for developing small company database applications. The problem is it was a niche skill

I understand your point, Keith, but even though Android uses Java, and Java IS considered “mainstream”, that does not seem to be translating into making it easy(er) to find Android mobile developers, is it? The ones out there ARE getting top-dollar, as well as iOS developers. C++ is also a

Back in the 80’s, M$ was just another compiler vendor, one of several. And they weren’t even considered the best. It has been estimated that their software development tools division alone would rank as a Fortune 100 business entity. But they actually receive very little direct revenues
