Not 10 times faster but it does work …ġ0. We also have/had problems using public WEB Services and what we did/do is actually read the documentation, test with SoapUI and copy everything over to our products and use SOAPRunXML(). The only thing we can say is that there is NO problem with WEB Services developed with WX products – they all work very nicely together. We had some questions concerning the consumption of WEB Services by WX products. in a WX product and someone (maybe with some help from Peter) can use the ideas and implement them in the apps.ĩ. There is an excellent paper by Peter Holeman, in PCSoft’s repository that presents the use of classes etc. At the same time we are avoiding the problems that rise from features that are not supported across ALL WX products. What about WX OO, Classes etc? We have decided NOT to use the OO features of WX, mainly because we think it is easier to communicate our ideas in a classic procedural type of implementation. So for complicated things WXReplication will fit nicely with the apps.Ĩ. What about Replication? In designing the product we have followed MOST of the guidelines/ideas of Fabrice Harari and his excellent open source WXReplication. What do we mean with the term POS system? This will actually be a small ERP that will have the functionality to work as an autonomous POS (like a cash register).ħ. All our support and the documentation will be in English.Ħ. We are waiting for a stable version of WEBDEV 21 to go online.ĥ. At the beginning we were going to use a 3rd party solution, but it didn’t fit with everything we were planning to do. The web site supporting the project is developed with WEBDEV. And they of course will not need any kind of WX license.Ĥ. Although someone would need a WX license to actually use the applications, we think that the Data Model(s) and the documentation of the design ideas will be very useful as is. Of course we can’t stop anybody – with a WX license – to recompile the apps and offer them as free downloadable apps, without any kind of limitation.ģ. The reason we are doing this is that we want WX developers to build their own applications even if this requires just a recompile of the source(s). These compiled apps will be limited in some way so they can’t be used as is. We will have compiled apps – for anyone that doesn’t have the current WX version - to download. I don’t know what kind of term to use for the license (since open source may not be appropriate with WX designed products), but I don’t think that we will have a problem here …Ģ. To answer some questions– from emails and posts on this forum – here are some answers (to obvious questions) - note that the MOST important answer is at the END of the post:ġ. Thanks to everybody for the kind words and sorry for the long post that follows !!! In the meantime if anyone is interested or has any questions (or ideas), just email me : Right now we are busy implementing the infrastructure (Microsoft Azure) to support the project and as soon as everything is up, I will do a repost. So what we are really saying is that you can use the apps in any way you want (study them, use as is, change them, resell them etc.) without any restrictions.Īt the same time we are going to offer, for anyone interested, payed consulting services for the applications. Of course since WinDev isn’t itself an Open Source product, someone could say that the apps aren’t really Open Source and they would have a point. We have done extensive work on the Documentation, the Data Models (Analysis) and the Internationalization of the apps and they will be published as “Open Source”. We are also planning iOS and WEB apps using other technologies (mainly JavaScript), but this could change in the future … The desktop apps will target windows and the mobile apps will target android and windows10 (universal apps). The first apps will cover a general POS and a Hotel front system, developed with WINDEV 20 and their accompanying mobile apps. The purpose of these apps will be to educate and offer developers a starting point for the development of new and more complete apps. In the very near future, my company is going to publish a series of applications developed with Windev technology.
