Is Suneido suited for me?

[hotcore]

Hi,

as I am currently involved in giving computer courses to elderly people, I was searching for a small, free course administration software, but couldn’t find it.

Since I am a (former) Applications Developer and Systems Programmer (mainframe 😉 I now am searching for a nice development environment to try and build it myself.

In the past I have explored Suneido a bit and thought it could be of great use for suited projects. So far AFAICT Suneido is suited for the project.

A few questions:
1) is Suneido still actively maintained and developed? How about the future (Single developer?)
2) is it possible to use an application over the internet (share databases on 1 PC from another PC somewhere else)?
3) any advice on the matter would be welcome 🙂

Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Arie van Wingerden

Hi Arie,

Suneido is still actively maintained (check the version control) although I have been very lazy about putting out new releases 🙁

I am the primary developer on the C++ and Java implementations, but there are more people working on stdlib stuff.

My commercial company (Axon Development) uses Suneido to develop it’s software. We are approaching a million lines of Suneido code in our application, with hundreds of customers who have, in total, thousands of users. So Suneido is not going away any time soon.

Suneido is designed for local area networks and does not run well over a wide area network (such as the internet), more because of latency, not bandwidth.

To support remote users for our clients we use remote desktop services.

I hope that answers your questions.

Hi Andrew,

sorry for my late reaction 🙂

Thanks for the information. You have a very strong selling point because of Suneido being used in commercial production.

I need a bit more time to decide. There are a few other options, but so far Suneido seems to be the most integrated solution.

Thanks,
Arie
