Lynn, I believe you mean this is prohibited by our regular royalty free
license.

It will be strange if e..g the same FaileMaker corp will take for 200$
Valentina engine, will integrate it into own IDE and start sale a lots of
copies royalty free.

Right?

This is why exists such limitations in EULA.
But if somebody will very want do that he still can make separate agreement
with Paradigma.

Re: Forwarded from Grandpa L

2012-04-04 Thread Robert Mann

Many thanks for this great link.

How to improve teaching? How to self teach yourself? This is one of the
greatest question... (the next one being :: what for? what to do with
knowledge!?)

Episode 1 : Its a long time since I had the intuition that videos could
serve to a great extend. I launched videos for french kids to learn english
a while ago. But I did not get the right to expand and add some tools to
help kids actually learn from them. I was a bit.. frustrated, because I
"felt" videos on their own would not be enough.

Episode 2 - That initial enthusiasm was later on counterbalanced by
"scientific" studies that concluded that, to the majority of viewers and
particularly children, their mind where distracted by the artefact of the
videos and that they would not use the backward/forward facility to adapt
the videos to their learning pace. The result being that they would not
learn much from videos. Also it was put forward that a human interaction was
key to the memorizing process. So I thought it was not such a great idea to
put children in front of a tv even if it was to train their french ears to
the esoteric sound of english...

So I also set aside some other projects I had, to expand this educative
video business and eventually killed it (also for other personnal reasons).

Episode 3 - That breathtaking video... and site etc.. does bring something
really knew on the subject for me.
The radical way of thinking is : make good use of time spent in front of a
tv, get the lectures there AND maximize in quality the time spent with the
teachers and classmates... thus boosting this essential human relation in
the learning process :: whouaouu THis seems like a great solution to
several huge problems.

As far as runrev - revolution is concerned and this list, It could well be
that an educative free limited entry point to xtalk programming would
encourage lots of students to co-develop little learning applications and
then later on pick up with full version... I do not know if it would be a
sound commercial way to go, but at least it would be a great humanitarian
way to go... and why not hand in hand with www.khanacademy.org ??

I cannot answer in the specific here, but there was a thread recently on the
RB list about developing competing or overlapping products with RB, that its
possible to work out a payment plan with REAL. The "nut" of the argument was
how they defined a development tool, which to me seemed overly broad at the
time and encompassed technologies that had little to do with RB - don't take
my word on the specifics though, if its important to you, they have
archives. I can't think of a more fitting example of conflict with RB, so my
guess is that they worked something out.

At Paradigma, we have to have our own definitions as well, though more
narrow. Pretty much anything that would duplicate a "Filemaker" type product
or a "Filemaker Server" type product is forbidden. On the other hand, we
have plenty of customers who make specialized data management tools for
vertical markets, integration or BI tools that are totally cool with our
license.

Dave Simpson wrote an interesting article on making code generation apps
with LiveCode for the Omegabundle which really set me thinking about this.

There are some companies that might not allow this sort of thing, or they
could be very vague about it in their EULA and then try to squeeze you for
royalties because it "might" overlap in some way. That's a really bad sign -
a sign that their technology is past its prime and they are a bottomfeeding
type company. They exist. Beware. They have tiny, evil eyes, hide in the
darkness and have funnel like mouths like lampreys...

SOT - Technology in the classroom success

2012-04-04 Thread Bob Earp

For those "technology in the classroom" nay-sayers on the list, and everybody 
else for that matter who has not taken a look at the success schools and 
individuals are having with Salman Khan's model, go take a look first at 
http://youtu.be/gM95HHI4gLk 

Then explore www.khanacademy.org where there is literally thousands of 
educational snippets from the basics of math to such obtuse things as Apsidal 
Precession (Perihelion Precession) and Milankovitch Cycles, all for free.

What's more, there is a built-in self paced educational model that seems to be 
having great success through all ages,  but especially K - 12.

As proof of success, in the last two days I have had grandchildren call and 
boast how they can do things that they have not been taught in the classroom 
yet, and their parent report that they are coming home and studying these 
things persistently and without encouragement.

Seem like teachers are finally getting a break to spend time teaching, or 
rather managing teaching, to the individual level rather than the mean.

I'm sold !!

Re: iOS - picking from a scrolling list

2012-04-04 Thread Chris Sheffield

You can change the appearance. So it can be a picker wheel or a scrolling list 
of values to pick from, much like you described in your initial post. At least 
on the iPad. Maybe the appearance is always the same on an iPhone/iPod Touch. 
Not totally sure. Anyway, I have an iPad app where I've used the scrolling list 
version and it works well. It would be nice if it had some other options 
available, like being able to set the position or being able to apply text 
styles.
