[ale] Rapid Gui Development

[Chris Woodruff]

RE: [ale] Rapid Gui DevelopmentI use Kylix all the time.  I have been doing
Delphi programming since version 1 professionally and using Kylix at home
since v1.  Both are great tools.  I have a blog that I discuss Kylix and
Linux development at www.openpenguin.com.

You can get the Kylix Open Edition at
http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_kylix.html  The Open
edition does not have database connectivity and you can only produce GPL
software with it.  I have the Enterprise edition that lets you expand
Apache, build Web Services and access all the databases that run on Linux.

If anyone needs help or wants to discuss Kylix just email me or visit the
forums I have at http://forums.openpenguin.com/

You might really want to check out the latest Kylix/Delphi combo..
I've not gotten to play specifically with Kylix.  But you can put an app
together in a hurry with Delphi.
And then with a couple of switchs (path delimiter for one):
You can compile the same code for win or lin.
I'd be interested in hearing what the rest of the list has to say.
Especially if they have tried kylix.

I'm in need to produce a GUI client that can access web services through
xmlrpc (the services are implemented in java with jaxrpc).
It's not going to be entirely complex, but needs to be thrown up quickly.
What would ale'rs recommend for this task?  My first thought was to use
Python with Tkinter, but I think Tk requires extra effort sometimes to
relatively simple things.  I'd prefer to stick with a scripting language,
as something like Qt would be too much overhead...same with Java.
It's for a research assistantship, so non-commercial.
The client should be able to run on Windows and Linux.  Any suggestions?
Thanks,
John
