It it being written using the LiveCode development system. The advantage of this system is that it can create Windows, Mac and iPad apps. It is a rapid development environment which means that applications are much faster to develop than using  other programming languages such as C or Visual basic. Having said that, no programming project is that quick, so the completion of the project is some way off yet. I’ll also be using LiveCode to create the next version of Life Manager Pro.
