Well thats what it turned into, someone laughing at REALBasic syntax and showing how much simpler RunRev is. Hence the nature of my response.

in REALBasic I extended the string class so that I can

without extending it would be
someString = replaceAll( someString, "bug", "feature" )

And the data source can be postgres, mysql, xml, adodb. At the window level, all I have is the listbox.

Re: Why 10 hours for a newbie and 30 days for a "programmer"
Hi Chipp, > Sorry to hear you say this. But of course you have your reasons. > Thanks for your response, we were getting fairly frustrated with make up your mind in ten hours or forget it message. Frankly it caused confusion. I had made the decision to buy Runtime Express because 1. It built standalone apps. 2. It works with sockets. 3. It had a syntax that was similar to HyperCard 4. Some of the people on the list were really helpful in sorting out sockets. 5. Mostly because the graphic's people wanted it and it could work with my existing apps. I went to the store to buy the product but the store was down in preparation for the upgrade. Then Dreamcard came out. 1. It appears to be very different, as in more features than Express 2. It lost some functionality in relation to graphics or graphics processing, don't ask me for the details I was not doing the gui evaluation, on sockets, Express came up fine for me. 3. It lost the ability to create standalones. bummer :-( 4. It seemed to be more buggy, which I've come to expect from the first new release of any product, REALbasic included. It seems to me that as a developer, the entry point is now Runtime Studio whereas previously you could start with Runtime Express, built the gui, upgrade to Studio as we reach release point. The graphic designers decided to go with REALbasic. Especially after I pressed them for an answer. It literally was the make up your mind in ten hours that lost it for them. Literally. That was the immediate purchasing result, in our case. I will wait for the current version to shake out it bugs and then buy a version. I can see great potential is getting the strengths of each ide working with other with sockets, by each IDE I mean Runtime, REALbasic, MS Access, Delphi, Foxpro, PHP, Perl and even old Filemaker via Apple Script and ole :-) > My understanding is that both the Dreamcard and Revolution demos are > exactly the same with the following exceptions: > > 1) Dreamcard has a 10-hour trial limit; Rev has a 30-day trial limit > 2) Dreamcard has a 'Dreamcard' splash screen on startup, whereas Rev has > a 'Revolution' splash screen on startup > Other than that, they are identical.

Re: Why 10 hours for a newbie and 30 days for a "programmer"
This email should of referenced dreamcard instead of Runtime Revolution The name change is confusing, for me. With Express, which I was just about to buy when the store went down, I knew it had all the functionality _I_ wanted, compiled an executable, which was something I wanted, and advertised Runtime Revolution every time it quit as a nag to upgrade to studio, which I felt was a fair enough. Is there an upgrade path from DreamCard to Runtime Studio? The message I sent to runtime rev was bounced with a polite message to address all such queries to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why not just change the name across the board, DreamCard, DreamStudio and DreamEnterprise, which implies an upgrade path. > > Exactly :-) > > > Because it's in Rev's best interest that they learn to use *their* product > > instead of somebody else's... > > > > Judy > > > > On Wed, 1 Sep 2004, Dan Shafer wrote: > > > > > If they have _no_ skills or background training in software but want to > > > learn, why should they learn for free? > > Let me state that I prefer REALbasic to Runtime Revolution. > My graphic artist prefers Runtime Revolution to REALbasic > > I am off to train another graphic artist in the use of REALbasic next week. > I have asked 'my' graphic artist to evaluate Runtime Revolution _before_ > I go.
