The Flexible Learning Company
Announcing the Scripter's Scrapbook v5
"the personal reference library for all programmers"
The Flexible Learning Company is delighted to announce the arrival of the
Scripter's Scrapbook version 5, the personal reference library for all
programmers. This is a major upgrade with more Internet capabilities, hence the
delay since the last increment. We hope you will find it not only useful but
also a meeting point for fellow software authors, whatever your platform,
interest and level of expertise. Every Scrapbook runs 'as is' under
Windows, Mac and OSX, with download options to suit your personal preferences
and ways of working.
Information about version 5: http://www.flexiblelearning.com/ssbk/ReadMe.html
Testimonials: http://www.flexiblelearning.com/ssbk/testimonials.html
Existing Users: Select 'Checking for Updates' in the Help
menu of your current Scrapbook. New Users: A 'starter system' is available from http://www.flexiblelearning.com/ssbk.htm What's New?
In short, a lot. First, the emphasis has been to maintain the program
style you are used to, so although the range of features and benefits is
greatly expanded, you get to choose how much or how little you want to
access within the security of familiarity. Secondly, spreading the scope to
embrace all language platforms. Most of us use more than one program, even if
Rev is best :-) From FileMaker, Flash and AppleScript to VB.net, C and
html, whatever your circumstances, the Scripter's Scrapbook aims to provide the
support you want. And since it is written entirely in transcript, we feel that
it also represents the power of Revolution and transcript as a development
language!
The ReadMe link will give you the run-down of the key enhancements, but a
few tasty morsels include...
- ssBk Chat, based on ChatRev but customized and enhanced
to meet the needs of the new version including direct Scrapbook-to-Scrapbook
transfers.
- On-Line Publisher and Browser, so you can upload, share,
and grab useful solutions all direct within your Scrapbook. The more that is
contributed, the greater the choice will be. Over 180 different languages are
available to post under, so we hope that multi-lingual as well as mono-lingual
authors will benefit.
- Fully customisable Language associations for the
flexibility to decide your own set-up.
- Additional script and code colorizing, including
AppleScript, Flash, _javascript_, PERL, REALBasic, SQL, Toolbook, VB, VB.net, and
_vbscript_
- Future updates are completely
automated, so all your preferences, settings and existing Entries are
transferred for you.
- Text formatting, a tab ruler, line numbering and
additional built-in icons all aimed to give you presentational control.
- Multi-styled Web publishing layout choices with an
optional hyperlink index lets you keep and share 'hard copy' automatically in a
convenient cross-platform format.
- Drag and drop archive restore, instantly importing
backups or subsets. This means that one Scrapbook can be used to manage an
unlimited number of record sets and is in addition to maintaining multiple
Scrapbooks, of course, so your options are really entirely up to you.
- Speech is implemented under Windows and OSX with a range
of 'avatars' to choose from. Great to get the kids interested!
- Three 'Tours' for fast orientation, including Organizing
Scrapbooks and Building a System. If we can do more, let us know.
Almost 2,000 copies have been downloaded in the past year, so something
must be worth investigating! And as a Rev user you get a very special offer
until 15 June as well.
Welcome to version 5... Enjoy!
