Checkout ADC Article

I just finished reading this really great article on a point of sale application called Checkout by Apple’s Developer Connection group.

The interesting part in my eye is that it’s written in Python and calling Cocoa. I’ve never used Python, but I hear there is a lot more built in support for this in Leopard.

Having worked on Quicken for 3 years and QuickBooks for 3 years, I’m always interested in new entries into this market. In my opinion Intuit never fully supported their Macintosh products, and any new entries like this help Apple and help the Macintosh ecosystem.

I’m still looking at the new entrants into the personal finance market, to replace Quicken.. I’m frustrated with continually giving my money to Intuit without getting something new and exciting in return.

I would LOVE to replace Quickbooks for Mac, but there just doesn’t seem to be a decent competitor that feels like a full Mac application.
