Clarion 7

(Firstly, sorry about posting this ugly graphic on my blog, but it forms the basis of the post.)

So, put your hands up those of you that think Clarion is 10 times faster at building applications? Yes? Ok, wait… actually, the real question is, 10 times faster than what? Turbo Pascal? Delphi? Java? Aaaah.. maybe, no wait… are you perhaps thinking its .Net?! (Shame on you…)

Well, you all wrong. You can build applications 10 times faster than…. Clarion. Yes, that’s it! Clarion can build applications 10 times faster than itself. Cool hey!

Hello Jason.

Is it just me or does this look really ugly? I know Clarion folk are not graphic designers, but first impressions do count. SV needs to go all Web 2.0 on that triangle’s ass - drop shadows, rounded edges (ok, maybe not for a triangle), fancy shading, decent colours. Oh ja, and the font. Typefaces are all the rage these days. It makes or breaks your Web 2.0 product I tell you.

One thing you can pick up from the splash screen is that the same IDE will run both Clarion 7 and Clarion.net. But we all knew that already hey?
