Hi just to let you know the iPod shuffle is at Target now, I work at a Target, and they had a 1 gig in stock, here is the DPCI number which is the identifier number at target, you …

How's that for an informative subject line? ;-) Anyway, I need to hire an expert RealBasic developer to make a RSS creation and management system for my company. In many ways, it…

Is RealBasic a requirement? I mean, why not Java, or any other language?

Yes, RealBasic is a requirement. I need to use RealBasic for many reasons, including cross-platform compatibility.

What are the reasons? I can't think of a better portable platform than java.

Actually, it's because I need to learn RealBasic for another project -- so I'd like all my apps to be in the same language.

>What are the reasons? I can't think of a better portable platform than java. I can. Java apps feel icky (IMO) the interface is a little off, the way it starts is a little off …

Yeah, same here. To me, Java apps just don't feel like "real" software (no pun intended).

OT (sorry) Are RB apps real compiled apps on all platforms, or are they like old VB apps which are interpreted...? Are they slow?

I'm pretty sure RealBasic is a compiled language, since (if I recall) you have to create different executables for each platform you want to run it on. So it doesn't seem to be int…

perversiontracker? What did you setup your own website? This site has been around for what like a day? (EDIT I see it's been "registered" since 2001) I'm still laughing, a site to …

The only reason that application is ANY good is the interface. Which as you said is all in cocoa. It's a pain in the ass if your for portability. Quote: Originally pos…

I have to agree with almost everyone here that Java is a much better choice than RealBASIC. Java is a concise language with a excellent and mostly mature class library. Whereas Rea…
