We need our own stack name... Don't you think.

[Mashiane]

Ola

Taking and shower and singing can initiate that globe moment at times.

It got me thinking, as the B4x community we don't have a stack name.

There is M. E. A. N for example, which means Mongo, express, angular, and node, am I right.

Anyway we use MySQL, Mssql, jrdc, b4x, Jetty etc etc. B4i, b4a, b4j, b4r eish the list is long.

BTW, if we had to come up with a stack name for b4x. What do you think it should be called and please explain why.

Perhaps Erel might just consider it. Lol.

Enjoy the fun.

I may be showing my age and ignorance but what is a 'stack name'?

 

[hatzisn]

I can figure out with what Mashiane already said that it is a nickname made from initials which expresses the technologies used. I may be wrong though.

 

[Sandman]

Yeah, he's interested in creating something like the acronym LAMP, which stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Perl/Python. (Wikipedia)

I imagine this comes from him working quite a bit with Banano etc, meaning webbased things. I'm already using the LAMP stack for the web part of my project, and as for the mobile app I like to call B4X my stack.

 

[hatzisn]

A nice stack name would be "ICE" (I Cut Everything {in front of the customer} ) as some gypties say here in Greece when they go around with their tracks selling watermelons. ? ? ? This would express the possibilities B4X has given us...

If really necessary, I think B4X will do just fine.

B.E.S.T (Building Every Software Thinkable)

Was that inspired by me insisting on B4X meaning Best For Anything?

Anyway, other acronyms could be:
BNE - B4X, Nothing Else
BWE - B4X, What Else?
BYOD (ok, it's already taken..) : B4X Your Only Development (tool)
GB - Go B4X
TBS - The B4X Stack
TBW - The B4X Way
MPMDB - Many Databases, Many Platforms? B4X

please, stop me...

How about this:

W

Why? It's before X.

 

[agraham]

Oh that sort of stack.? I thought it might be some sort of millenial social media thing.?

 

[Sandman]

I thought it might be some sort of millenial social media thing.

You're thinking of Slack, that's some sort of webbased irc-wannabe thingie.

Slack is a new way to communicate with your team. It’s faster, better organized, and more secure than email.

BWE - B4X, What Else?

In a similar line of thought, BeXpresso

I can imagine the advertisement...
A member is about to use another programming tool, when Erel suddenly appears, saying.. $"Really, ${user.GetDefault("name", "George")}, really??"$

I think you are right. B4X is the stack name as it covers everything already.

 

[Sandman]

Erel suddenly appears, saying.. $"Really, ${user.GetDefault("name", "George")}, really??"$

So smooth, it really roll off the tongue! ;-)

 

[KMatle]

Yup. B4X is nice...

 

[josejad]

So, are we B4Xers? (beforexers?)

 

[Cableguy]

my two cents... maybe @LucaMs can use them...

The main goal of B4X is to try to eliminate all of the "platform native" overheads, like Java, C, PHP, etc...
I can understand the desire to create a "Stack name", but B4X is a complete "stack" on its own, isn't it?

 

[alwaysbusy]

So, are we B4Xers? (beforexers?)

I think we are better known to the common world as the X-men (the B4 is silent).
