Selected Quotes
"X-Designer ... has reduced our interface development time by
a factor of five ... X-Designer's Layout Editor is the best
we've used. The Editor allows the designer to drag widgets
around the window during placement and provides immediate,
visual feedback on the current screen layout. The ease of
layout on screen allows us to bring customers into the
interface development process earlier, demonstrating interface
look-and-feel, without spending time coding by hand. Unlike
some interface editors that lock developers into putting
certain widgets in certain locations, X-Designer's Layout
Editor is flexible and intuitive ... We're very satisfied
with X-Designer; it has provided more functionality than we
anticipated and real productivity benefits."
William E. Madden, Data Management Review
November 1995
"We wrote 11,000 lines of bug-free interface code in two days"
Bill Madden on CDI's use of X-Designer in David
Baum's article 'Pump Up Your Interface With GUI Builders'
HP Professional September 1995
"
Superb ... The quintessential GUI builder gets better.
A fine product and one of the best straightforward GUI
development tools available ... X-Designer stands out when it
comes to speed: with a few mouse clicks you can accomplish
what other products take much longer to perform. Development
is fast, and programmers will love its customizability.
The latest release of X-Designer is a significant statement on how
GUI designers should be. X-Designer has them all beat in ease
of use."
Tim Parker, UNIX Review September 1995
"X-Designer speeds the development of user interfaces for
Motif and Window applications without reliance on proprietary
code, providing flexible, non-proprietary, vendor-independent
solutions for software developers."
Rishi Syed, The X Journal April 1995
"If you need an interface fast, you need X-Designer.
The author has found X-Designer to be the best product
(and not just the best interface builder) of the many he has
reviewed."
James Armstrong, Advanced Systems March
1995
