After The New Clarions Are Released, What Will You Be Using?

October 27th, 2008 · · Polls

I was testing the Poll functionality over the weekend, and it seems that some folk have already been adding their vote. Strange. Thought I had deleted it.

Anyway, please take time to vote. I’ll keep the poll up for 4 days (stopping Friday).

AppGen Released To 3rdParty Community!

October 21st, 2008 · · Featured, News

The word is out.

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.

QUOTES

“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.”

What If Larry Page Wanted An App?

Larry Page

Imagine this.

It’s an ordinary day. Minding your own business, coding away, you are a little annoyed when the doorbell buzzes. It disturbs the sanctity of your workplace.

Of course, when it’s Larry Page standing in your doorway, there are only two reactions.

1. Punch him in the face because you are one of the wierdos who doesn’t like Google, or,

2. Invite him in.

Larry knows your name. He’s been watching you, watching what you’ve been doing. He and his Crew are very interested in Clarion, and you are the man to push interest into actual development.

He gives you 6 months and the insane financial backing of Google to write an App in Clarion .Net.

What App would you create with Clarion .Net?
