Hi Ken

One thing you did not show in your Webinar was how to do complex data munging and calculations in the backend. I cannot imagine that is much fine writing that in Javascript so I would be interested to find out how this is done. For example I have an application that must invoice fuel transactions but for each transaction it must determine if it falls under a contract or whether the contract has expired or you have purchased the maximum amount of fuel allowed on the contact. The contract can be based on fixed price or maximum price. If it is maximum price it has to determine whether customer gets the product at cost plus some markup or at retail price or the maximum contract price which ever is less. Some transactions are based on retail price less a discount others at cost price plus a markup. It also depends on location and a variety of other things. So I am wondering how Servoy handles this type of backend processing.

I am also wondering how much data goes back and forth between client and server because most hosting services allow a certain bandwidth per month after which the charges get significant.

>I had looked at Servoy a couple of years ago but found it too expensive but either I missed something or they have added new licensing options since because they have some more reasonable costing now and it definitely fits in what I am doing now. All my apps run under Terminal Server and accessed from various OS's and I also have web interfaces so Servoy sure looks good. I have down loaded the Community Edition. I just hope it lives up to its claims and runs reliably. I think I may still need other tools as I have to have some services capturing data in real time and storing it in the database but for the users it looks like Servoy would work well. It is an added bonus that I can access DBF files so it makes transition to a database server easier.

>>Servoy for Visual FoxPro Developers
>>Recorded Webinar: Ken Levy, former Visual FoxPro Product Manager, and Sean Devlin, Servoy Senior Technical Engineer, present this comprehensive 90 minute webinar with demonstrations and discussions on using Servoy for FoxPro developers. This webinar is demo-centric and focuses on how features common to Visual FoxPro applications are developed in Servoy, cool Servoy features not supported in Visual FoxPro, how Servoy works with DBF tables in existing FoxPro applications, and the benefits to FoxPro developers in adding Servoy expertise to their toolkit.
