Hello list, Over on the HC list (yes, it's still quite alive, but the activity has dwindled to a handful of members) there has been some discussion about yet another HC clone. The thread starter is a programmer who was talking about building yet another HC-type tool for MS' .NET framework, which I confess I know nothing about, something 'simple and elegent' (his words).
Of course, I directed him to Rev, but he said he thought it was geared to the professional programming market and therefore too complex and daunting for many people to bother with, doesn't fit the criteria of 'simple and elegent'. I know exactly what he means. I miss HC's straightforward GUI, and even the 'canned' stacks and scripts to modify. These are precisely the reasons that father HC gained its popularity among early Mac users and spawned what we now see here. If I was looking at learning to write simple programs for my own use, or if I was young student wanting to experiment with programming solutions and school projects, or if I was a grade school teacher needing to relieve some pressures, or a retiree looking for an interesting hobby, or aspirations for a small business where I needed options for its peculiarities, or...well, you get it, yes? Would Rev be a viable option? Maybe not, the way it appears right now. So, in order to get new beginners truly interested in this venue, I was thinking there should be a set of well written, simple, ready-to-use, useful, and modifiable stacks, and also puposefully geared to breaking them down to analyze step-by-step, and modifying them, all done within the Free Edition. Things like a phone dialer, an MP3 playlist, a graph maker, a set of stack templates, etc. I'd be really interested in list feedback on this subject. Yours truly, Ken N. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
