New pricing for Dan's Revolution book
Hi, Dan's excellent guide to working with Revolution, Software at the Speed of Thought, is now available at a new reduced price. The printed book is now just $37, a $10 reduction. To order, visit our online store: http://secure.runrev.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PRODProduct_Code=SST PCategory_Code=RMStore_Code=RROS Also, a quick update for the community: As part of our drive to focus clearly on our core business - of building, maintaining and publishing the best possible Revolution product, we've suggested to Dan, and he has agreed, that it would be best to put the production of Dan's next books on hold while we look for a mutually agreeable publishing company to take those forward. The only implication that you might want to be aware of is that we will be slowing down the publication of the new e-book chapters somewhat while this search is going on. We'll probably release one every month or so for the moment. To make up for this slow down, we'll be making the new chapters free to members of Dan's e-community, and making the printed books free to those members when they come out too. If you have any comments or questions about this, please [EMAIL PROTECTED] or Dan directly.

Revolution Book
Last fall I unleashed a few posts regarding plans for a Revolution Book. I received several responses, suggestions, inquiries, etc., enough to make me believe the project is worthwhile. Unfortunately, things got put on hold due to personal and professional issues that are only now beginning to settle down. In the coming months, I plan to devote a substantial amount of my free time (which, after all, isn't nearly enough time!) to re-launching the project. Sort of. What I mean is that I don't quite feel up to the task of writing a complete book about Revolution, at least not one that would serve the community, or be worth reading. This is especially true in light of the dramatic changes/additions evident in version 2, which I have only just incorporated into my daily work. I do, however, feel well-equipped to cover what I'll refer to as basics plus in a way that will be helpful to new programmers, and perhaps experienced programmers looking at Revolution for the first time. To that end, my plan is to launch a new web site along the lines of Marc Zeedar's REALbasic Univeristy over at the Applelinks web site (http://www.applelinks.com/rbu). If you haven't seen it yet, you should take a look. Marc did a wonderful job developing a series of free tutorials to introduce newbies to RB. That project, and the success of his shareware application, Z-Write, made it possible for Marc to launch the very successful REALbasic Developer Magazine (again, if you haven't seen it yet, you should take a look -- it's great stuff: http://www.rbdeveloper.com). I'd like to do for Revolution what Marc and others have done for RB. For starters, I'm currently architecting/designing the site and planning the content for the first 2-3 months of articles, with new content at least once a week. Like RBU, I plan to include tutorials about using Rev, but I'd also like to adopt a more flexible newsmagazine format, which would allow for interviews with members of the community, a letters section, profiles/reviews of apps built with Rev, and general commentary on software development, marketing, and sales. I envision a full online newsmagazine dedicated to Revolution, one that may well serve as the basis or inspiration for a proper Revolution book down the road (whether written by me or by someone else). Right now I'm testing on a local server. I expect the site to be up and running some time around July 4th. In the meantime, I'd like to hear from anyone who cares to comment. What do you think? What would you like to see? Are there any questions, success stories, rants, jokes, ideas you'd like to offer for inclusion on the site? Any volunteers for interviews/articles/profiles? If you'd like to reach me about this project, please do so off-list. You can reach me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unless Heather or the list members object, I would, however, like to use the lists to update everyone on the status of the project, especially as we get closer to launch. Until then, I hope everyone enjoys their exploration of all the cool new stuff in v. 2 (I mean, 2.0r2;)! Alan S.

Revolution Book Project
Hi all-- I've posted a draft Introduction section for the Revolution book. Here's the link: http://progrevolution.blogspot.com/ Hopefully, this draft will give readers the feel and flavor of the book. Please check it out -- feedback is encouraged! Since first announcing the project, I've received quite a few e-mails from folks who have expressed interest and checked out the weblog. I'm happy to note that everyone I've heard from is quite excited about the project, and eager for details, i.e., publication date, publisher, etc. Suffice it to say that no such details are yet worked out. From my prior experience in the tech book market, it's best to have as much written as possible before approaching publishers -- publishers demand such quick turn-around times (based on the fact that software versions quickly and frequently change between the signing of a book contract and actual publication) that it's best to have a good head-start before you commit to real deadlines. My preference, however, is to base the book on version 2 or later, with publication sometime next early-Fall. A long way off, but necessary and desirable to make it something to be proud of. Anyway, I'll continue to work as fast and often as I can. Thanks for your interest! Regards, Alan S.

Re: Revolution book
Hi, I have been using RR daily now for months. I continue to be happy with its capabilities. The only thing that remains an issue for me is the lack of printed documentation and / or third party books on the subject. It is clear that there are additional sources of information because many of the contributors to these lists seem to be extremely knowledgeable about transcript and RR in general. Where did these folks get this information? Was it working w MetaCard? Is there some printed documentation available for Metacard? Don't get me wrong. I'm not angry about this, just frustrated. Does anybody know if there is there a book in the works. What we really need is a book similar to Danny Goodman's Complete HyperCard Handbook. That type of book could make learning the intricacies of Transcript and Run Rev a lot easier than randomly accessing the online help app or going to the lists. A printed version of the existing documentation is in the works. I am working on getting it available as fast as possible, however this could still be several weeks. As soon as it is available I will announce it on this list, as well as the website. We are well aware of the need for this book, and apologise for the long delay in making it available. I would ask for your patience for just a few weeks longer. Regards, Heather Just my 2ยข. Steve -- Heather Williams [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.runrev.com/ Runtime Revolution Ltd.

-Original Message- From: Ken Norris (dialup) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Anyway, FYI, I am still looking for parts, but I expect to end up with a Mac IIci with: Accelerator card, high res video, 128mb memory, 9.1.gb drive (4 2gb partitions, the rest for VRAM). I intend to use it as a dedicated reference machine. Gee, seems like it would be easier and cheaper to just get a second monitor for your main machine. -Glen Yates ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
