Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant! Who didn't go to the book store in the early days of their computing lives? Has anyone noticed how many Java books there are? RunRev absolutely has got to get a book w/CD in every big box book store. Have REVOLUTION printed proudly on the spine and throw an evaluation edition w/user contributions on the CD.
WRT the new pricing, it seems reasonable, but the studio edition makes Rev seem a little more reliable & predictable than it is. Even the best programmers need to debug & reformat their apps natively on each platform and having additional express licenses is really awkward. IMHO when your product's key feature is cross-platform development, isolating platforms on the beginner licenses is not the way to go. Scrap the 10-liner starter kit for the 30 day evaluation. And keep the SBE and professional as they were. Personally, I'm sticking with 1.1.1 for its beautifully tabbed properties palette : ) until Rev supports SSH (I heard in v2.5 a while back), then I'll upgrade.
