Servoy Guy { var this_site = blog + tips + resources; }

In the internet age, everyone is working remotely, which has lots of advantages, but one of the drawbacks is getting affordable phone service to place local, and long distance calls, as well as being able to receive calls directly.  So, when you mention VOIP (Voice over IP), most people think of Skype.  However, there is another service out there, with better VOIP technology, and lots of cooler features...

Below are some links to oldies but goodies that are sure to give you a laugh.

The Saga of the Seven Dudes
Back in the early days, the people at FileMaker liked to refer to Servoy as "Three guys and a Windmill".  This poem was written a few years later when Servoy was "Seven Dudes and a Windmill", but is still very very funny.  Credits to Michael Rochard.

Everyone is looking forward to the 4.0 release of Servoy which will add lots of new features, and developers will now work out of Eclipse, with Servoy as an Eclipse Plug-in.  So, everyone is asking...What do I need to do to get ready for 4.0?

Since the last post, there have been lots of updates to the Servoy Guy site!

First:  I've added 2 new plugins on the Servoy Components page

•  PDF Pro- adds LOTS of functionality for working with PDF's, like password protection, restrictions, watermarks, and many more
• Validator Pro- adds additional column validators, like Credit Card, etc

Second: I've added an online test to the JavaScript A-Z course.  After you finish the course, challenge yourself to take the test

Today I have added the first public course to the Servoy Guy site.  The course is JavaScript A-Z and is being offered completely free.  This course consists of information from the Core JavaScript Guide put together by Netscape, along with Servoy specific items to give you the best JavaScript resource available for Servoy Developers!  The course consist of the following topics:

This week Servoy SAN members got their hands on the Servoy 4.0 Technology Preview release.  Its still a little rough around the edges, but is definitely in the right direction.  As soon as it was posted, many developers immediately jumped in and started testing.

The first post of many more to come...hopefully!  I'll try to take the time to update this blog periodically with news and other misc updates about Servoy, as well as posting some personal news.  Thanks for taking the time to look at the site.  Please support it by sending it around to fellow Servoy developers.  Over time I'll be adding as much content as possible.  If you have ideas for the site, or want to post content, please send me an email...you can find it on the Contact page above.
