Re: Choose New Era???
Posted in 1997
OK, I just got the newest copy of "Informix Times". They are talking about JWorks as if it is a shipping product: "JWorks delivers drag-and-drop Java development component". "Delivers"? Doesn't the use of that word imply that it's doing it *now*, i.e.: it's available to users? Then there's the announcement about New Era 3.0, wherein the product is described as a "solution for building...client/server, Web-enabled...applications." "Web-enabled"? Is there a Web component to version 3.0 of New Era? Previously JWorks was sounding like New Era with Java code. Now they're making New Era sound like JWorks. This is adding more to my suspicion that New Era and JWorks are going to be folded into one product. It sounds like at the user level they look the same. Do they just modify New Era's GUI builder to spit out Java instead of C++ code? And if there will be JWorks, what reasons will there be to choose New Era?
