Same with the Databaase hooks . Gaby looked interesting but is still a bit cryptic to me , and I was REALY disapionted on its lack of printing ability. There was just no easy way for a beginer to deal with printing/reporting.
What I do like about Jbuilder is the component way of dropping them , hooking them together and modifieng the code when needed. Borlands back and forth technology between the visual tools and the editer being two ways is realy super. I have used delphi and am realy itching for kylx. So far Jbuilder has been the closest.
I will agree that there is a whole lot of stuff coming down the pipe line , but t hat does not help me today. I would venrture tosay that the only rad tools are jbuilder , visualage and omnis for linux. The Omnis language is just to propitery as far as I am concerned even considering its gotten top reviews. So thaat leaves the java tools which at least I can carry with me to c/c++. I would like to see python with a case statement and more typical / traditioand type styntax ie function/methed start with and _ kind of funy , and a morerad type visual componet architecture would be neet. Kylx would be nice too <>
I agree. For major tasks in a short time-span (aren't they all?), Python still needs some development in the RAD area. However, the amount of development going on in this area is staggering. I would hazard a guess that in six months time, you will face an even tougher choice as to which language to use. Use the tools that do the job, that's the name of the game. (But keep an eye out for "the Snake").
