I (President of Programming Labs S.A.) challenge any and all C++ programmers.

posted September 24, 2001 (no takers yet)


Using Clarion we can finish a windows database program in less than a third the time it would take a C++ programmer! We firmly believe this and we are willing to back that with $10,000.00.

Write a functional for any database intensive program. Have a C++ programmer estimate how many days to complete it. Send us the functional. If we don't think we can write that program in less than a third of the time the C++ programmer estimated we will send you $10,000.00.

If you hire us and we cannot finish it within the agreed upon time frame then all our effort and source code is free. We are that certain of our abilities as programmers. Since 1990 we have been writing code - our development time in the last 4 years have never exceeded estimate by 10% and often finish in less than the time estimated.

We are Clarion programmers and we truly believe the Clarion programming language is superior to all other Windows languages and far superior to C++ when it comes to writing database applications.

We will pay you $10,000 if we are wrong.

Details on qualifying

Must be a database related program (which is what most programs are)

Functional document (what you want the program to do) must be complete and well-thought out

If project is expected to take more than a year then we will have to charge for time to review the functional (since it will be in-depth)

Conditions of challenge

Original time estimate must be from a qualified C++ programmer.

Time estimates for any software project done in Clarion will amaze you. Send an email for sample quotes and we can send you some programs we wrote with the actual time it took us to complete each one. If you are considering starting any programming project you should seriously consider Clarion.

Note: for web-based programming there are many language options. Clarion has some web solutions using Thin clients (Citrix-like), PHP, ASP, .NET and TCP-direct connections which we would be happy to discuss with you. However our staff also has many other non-Clarion languages we are proficient with for web-based development including some in-house libraries that exceed any other options we have yet found on the market. Which language is right for you depends on the particular application. Ask us for a demo.
