Welcome back, Alain! Jacque has pointed you in the right direction, but I'd like to add a word on the revWeb plugin for 'revlet' apps... It has achieved proof of concept stage, but we are all waiting for the final release of 4.5 for a commercially solid technology.
I have at least one client champing at the bit for it. The main issue for us has been the inability to ensure that the most recent version of the plugin is installed, and un-installing currently requires manual intervention. This is the show-stopper. Window layering, mouse and cursor issues, trivial things like that, also have to be addressed. BUT, once done this is going to be (almost) as revolutionary as RevMobile, and certainly for dyed-in-the-wool-dont-want-or-need-an-android-iphone-gimme-a-break types like me. :) /H -----Original Message----- From: metacard-boun...@lists.runrev.com [mailto:metacard-boun...@lists.runrev.com]on Behalf Of metacard-requ...@lists.runrev.com Sent: 15 July 2010 18:00 To: metacard@lists.runrev.com Subject: metacard Digest, Vol 75, Issue 1 Send metacard mailing list submissions to metacard@lists.runrev.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to metacard-requ...@lists.runrev.com You can reach the person managing the list at metacard-ow...@lists.runrev.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of metacard digest..."

I must say.. I am impressed! Particularly with all of the new [web] features: * save stack as revlet and deploy-to-web ; * free downloadable plugin for revlets ; * free 'player' of stacks (eg RevMedia) ; * part to display/manage genuine tables ; * interact with mySQL databases ; * rev based web hosting ... Way to go! :-) But how come I haven't heard much/any news about these new [web] features? >From all of you mc/rev users, I mean. Do these features really deliver [as promised]? Are Revlets better (perform better) than java-Applets? Or Flash for that matter? Can a revlet write to the user's disk?? Do the revlets do everything a stack can? Are the revlets limited in some way? Do they require a server-side process[es] - CGI, AJAX, or otherwise - to do certain things? If so: basic things? or just extraordinary things? Any comments on this, or any of the other aforementionned features, would be GREATLY appreciated. :-) Alain P.S.: Is this the correct list for this inquiry? ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:24:11 -0500 From: "J.

It's all happening over on the Rev list. This one is mostly just to discuss the MC IDE. I think you'll find everything you want to know if you search the list archives: <http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ide.revolution.user> You can join the Rev list here: <http://www.runrev.com/developers/community/> Info about revserver and revWeb are in the lessons near the top of this page: <http://lessons.runrev.com>. Basically there are two new web technologies: one is client-side (revWeb plugin) and the other is server-side (RevServer.) They are also working on RevMobile to allow deployment to Android phones. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard End of metacard Digest, Vol 75, Issue 1 *************************************** No virus found in this incoming message.
