Google wc.dll to see the penetration of Rick Strahl's West Wind product for VFP. Rick is another one-man-band. And then there's your own focus as a MVP for mobile applicatiion devices: can useful mobile apps be written by a single person? We know they can and that somebody who writes a good one can earn enough to retire. The mindset that only huge teams can make progress is of benefit only to the plodders who want to hold innovative people back or big companies that want to stifle the innovation that usually comes from the smallest teams.


Rick has been developing WestWind for a long time. I used it in 1997. eTechnologia has a much huger poject, IMO, and they've just started. Its funny how there's no mention of it from Samuel David for months.
