Brendan,
Thank you for the direct input. As I said I was impressed with some
of the features and look forward to evaluating more thoroughly. The
Safari snafu (that Apple has acknowledged) will be fixed with
Leopard, but that still leaves many millions with non-Leopard Safari
browsers.
I was not meaning to appear negative on the product. 100% of Safari
users would have made the same observation. I don't want to get into
a browser mishmash. I simply want to understand how I can use 4DW2
with A4D before I invest in this product.
It is good to know that A4D and 4DW2 will work well together.
I enjoyed the presentation and appreciate your efforts to bring this
to market. Thanks again for your input
Jim
We actually see this as an add on to to Active 4D. In fact one of the
biggest feature requests we have gotten is to integrate with Active
4D. One
of my guys will start a project to do that in the next couple of days.
Active 4D is such a powerful web development tool I think they both
will
work very well together.
Regards the demo, as should be noted in the demo, the reason it
doesn't work
with Safari right now, is that there is a serious bug in Safari
which Apple
have acknowledged. It is actually fixed in Web Kit, however Apple
is holding
the fix until Leopard is released unfortunately. We took the choice
of not
spending a lot engineering time on a workaround for this. We did fear
comments like yours that people would think the whole product
doesn't work
with Safari which is definetly not true but still felt our
engineering
resources were better spent on other areas.
Of course one of the big uses of 4D Web 2.0 Pack for A4D developers
will be
the live window plug-ins. In this way any hybrid sites can have
their A4D
application available to them directly in their regular client
application.
Aparajita, I don't like jumping in here so forgive me if I am
jumping on
anyones toes, I just felt like the thread required an input from 4D.
Finally I do want to thank Aparajita for the great work he has done
with A4D
(among other contributions to the 4D community) and we hopefully
will be
able to work together to see how we can integrate both products
together to
allow 4D Developers create incredible web applications.
