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

(Newest at Top)

“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.”

Back on the 14th I posted $10 Million To Make A Clarion .Net Ad.

There was a great response, both here and on the newsgroups. Following is a summary of your thoughts:

BLOG

Murray Gillespie

• It was a simple ad, “Ease of use vs Price”, that sold Clarion to him.

Richard Rose

• Language. Appgen. Smart Approach. Templates. Integration. Code Generation (from Dave).
• Talk about global companies who are using it. Mentioned largest construction project in the world (www.alrahabeach.com).

• “Templates” while the world was saying “Objects”.
