Title: Amiga Anywhere Developement
Post by: trekiej on June 07, 2007, 12:24:49 AM

Who has used it and what do you think of it?
I am thinking about buying it.
I am wondering if Python maybe a better bet.
Thanks.

Your question makes no sense. If you are looking to build a product people will buy, you wouldn't choose a dead platform that never netted any sales. If you are looking to have some fun, python is full of joy...

I am not interested in the current Amiga fiasco.
I just want to know what people think of the kit.
Thanks.

amiga anywhere is compleat CRAP.  
Python on the other hand is compleatly differnt, it's a scripting language that is very powerful.  I like it, I'm not very good with it but it's very popular and powerfull, learn it!

AmigaAnywhere is a platform, python is a language... This is why the question didn't make any sense...

Sorry, the similarities are that AA uses (i believe) byte code and Python does too and Java.( i believe )  I guess Python is maybe more like Java, I guess.
Python seems to run on alot of machines including handhelds.  I have been reading the O'reillies book with the mouse on it.  I like the interpretive aspects of Python.  I wanted to write software for the Amiga with it a while back.

The write once run anywhere philosophy.  It does sound good and I know that there is alot of people who can tell you the goods and bads of it. It is a programmers dream come true if it works well.

As for AInc web site, AmiPass does not seem to work, so I cannot fax them the agreement for a free download of the software.  Maybe they have fixed it since the new site.
Well technically what is wrong with AA software?

I have fell head over heels to get my C++ and python done so I can go into GUI creation.  I want to write for AROS and Hollywood is available and looks good.  Do I wait for the Fiasco to end to go to AROS?
I want to get off winders and build some robot software.
Later.

Off topic:
How much does Ainc own of the Amiga anyway?
