Hi Steve,

as Thomas implied, Lianja is a complete development and deployment stack.

Mobile, e.g., uses a lot of open source components (boostrap, jQuery, jQueryMobile, etc.) and provides oData-based Ajax connections -- but you don't have to fiddle with those things. You design the app using components, write the code you need to provide special functions (business rules), and deploy (desktop, web, mobile). That doesn't mean it writes it for you :), but it sure beats having to learn the intricacies of the frameworks, and work around bugs in them (including QT), because Lianja already has.

It's a different way of thinking about apps, to be sure, because it is aimed at today's world. PC use is declining, because people are using their phablets.

hth,

Hank

>Hank, How do you start off your code, using FoxPro? talking to Lianja? So that FoxPro can get access to Lianja objects? I am used to talking to visual basic (in Word or Excel) use a createobject, but apparently more steps are involved with foxPro and QT, and it just seems like not that much effort has gone into this direction?

Next year it is scheduled to do native mobile QT apps. Although in the current beta (in RC mode), for mobile apps (PhoneGap'ed, push a button and get it back from Adobe Build) it uses the mobile OS's native controls for date, dropbox, etc., so that user gets a native look and feel, which is kind of neat.
