This was not a quick decision.

Thanks one and all for your support over the last year. It was much appreciated.

I feel that apologies are in order. I had many dreams and visions of what could be done when I started the evangelist gig. Unfortunately the only one that really came about was the podcast.

Incidentally, the podcast won’t be stopping, at least I don’t see why it will. Have to talk to the other folk, but pretty sure we’ll keep batting on about how much better Australia is at sports than South Africa.

Mucho thanks to Bob Z, Bob F, and the rest of the gang at Soft Velocity. I’ll be watching (and participating in) the action with great interest.

Kudos!

Right now, this very instant, people have got their grubby mitts on the Clarion 7 AppGen and are playing with it. The folk at Soft Velocity must be breathing erratically right now :)

I’ll be adding more to this post as the information comes in.

“In a procedure with a menu tree, you can expand and contract and the tree.  This is FAR easier to use than before as there was little visual indication as to which tree node you were in.  In C7, there is no doubt.”

“In C6, to get  to the global application properties, you have to press the global button on the toolbar, then press Extensions. In C7, you select the Proerties tab and then press Actions. The dialog opens near instantly.”

“C7 is tough on enforcing rules. Got an invalid use of PRIVATE procedure in a 3rd party template used in it.”

“At the top is the drop down list of ALL the public methods in the class I’m in right now.  I can jump right to the one I want!” (In Embeditor)

“The one thing that is going to take some getting used to is the close window buttons.  They are in different locations.”

“When there are no embeds in the procedure, the prev/next filled embed buttons are disabled.  When you have one, they become enabled.”

“Window designer has those nifty little alignment helpers.”

“Compile and gen is significantly faster.”

“.. out of the box, its VERY nice.”

“first feed back… the template registry loads VERY quickly!”
