Hello everyone,
How are you all doing, I hope that you're all doing well and keeping safe in these trying times.

Anyway, how can anyone not like using the B4X suite of RAD tools, they are excellent. Are they perfect, no of course not, no development package is, if B4X was perfect then Anywhere Software wouldn't keep releasing excellent development tools updates.

So where is all this heading I hear you asking yourself. Well as I had a day spare from fixing up the house, I decided to create an app for newer developers to b4x.com to hopefully learn from. It's nothing special, but as it only took me 1 day to develop 3, yes I will say that again 3 small but fully functional B4X XUI cross platform apps, I would call that a resounding success, again :cool:

So as the title asks and I quote "How can anybody not like developing using B4X XUI pages???".

Buy buy, sell sell, go short, stay long ?


Enjoy...

Hello everyone, again.
As I had to turn my Macbook on this morning, I thought it would be nice to see how the desktop generated jar file from the B4J B4XPages project looks like running on MacOS.

Below are four screenshots, one for each OS. Sorry but my Raspberry Pi is not here with me at the moment, so I couldn't test the jar file on it.

Thank you Anywhere Software (how ironic hey, code once run Anywhere and also on anything;)) for your B4XPages XUI implementation into your suite of RAD development tools, this is a definite game changer. Lately I've find myself using B4J more and more for both personal and paid client work, that's why I've donated regularly and not just once.

I must say that over the years I've enjoyed using both the IDE and the community forum which in my opinion is what really makes using B4X possible. The library developers and wrappers on b4x.com really are special as they create and share libraries in their spare time, the forums question and answer sections per development tool really is second to none. I personally like the fact that developers on here are not arrogant and try to help. Have you ever read some responses to new developers questions on other forums, I have in the past and regularly on some other forums more experienced developers appear to belittle newbies questions just because they might ask something extremely simple that they don't know the answer too, but that never ever happens on b4x.com. On this community forum if someone can help, no matter what their development skill levels are they will try to, and that is priceless.

Now lets all hope that more and more younger developers around the globe take up B4X for developing their apps. Lets also hope more hobbiest, professionals, teachers etc take up using the B4X suite of RAD tools and that then trickles down to the younger generation of this world.

One day to accomplish the above results o_O
Just a few short years ago I could only have dreamt about creating the above for multiple platforms, and that dream would in fact have been a complete nightmare with me using multiple packages and languages :eek:. Using B4X is basically a dream come true and not a nightmare :cool:. I especially like the fact that you can use either B4A, B4i or B4J and in all three cases you end up creating the above results with B4XPages, absolutely awesome.

Anyway, cheers to Erel and to every single developer on b4x.com. Lets keep growing, expanding and spreading the word about b4x.com...

Thank you Peter for this detailed and heart warming feedback.

B4XPages + XUI are indeed game changers. Both for cross platform development and for making Android development much simpler.

racias Anywhere Sof
Gracias Anywhere Software (qué irónico, oye, el código una vez se ejecutó en Anywhere y también en cualquier cosa ;)) por la implementación de XUI de B4XPages en su conjunto de herramientas de desarrollo RAD, esto definitivamente cambia las reglas del juego.
That's right, it is the evolution of powerful and stable development faster!
