I wish I could but I can't because the code I have developed is proprietary

and I think I might be sued if I released it. The other issue is I have only

been programming in python for two years (and the first year I don't count

because I was just testing the waters) and still have much to learn.

But if you have a project in mind just present it and I'm sure we will help.

BTW:

There are several approachs to programming with Dabo. I hand code my screens

and others use the ClassDesigner to create screens. And still others use a

combination of the two. When I started two years ago ClassDesigner was not

very stable so I just taught myself how to hand code the screens. But today

ClassDesigner is able to do everything I can do with a screen - just

differently in some cases. And still another way is to use the App Wizard

that Paul developed. Paul uses modified code based on the App Wizard code he

wrote. Then others only use the ClassDesigner to create UI's and don't use

the bizobj or data layers. As you can see Dabo is very flexible. It will do

the job.

Also Dabo eats it's own dog food. ClassDesigner, ReportWriter, AppWizard and

several other apps were written using Dabo.
