Like a lot of people here, I started off with HyperCard (well, I started long before HyperCard and have used Basic, C, even Fortran!). HyperCard's ease of use and massive increase in productivity convinced me that this was the way to go. As an example, a colleague wrote a program in 6 months. I re-wrote it in HyperCard in 8 days.Are most of you using it for educational software, or to help with projects at a large company, or for independent programming for small businesses?
Just curious,
Jonathan
When Apple started losing interest in HyperCard, I started looking for alternatives. MetaCard was powerful, but not Mac enough for me. I tried RealBasic which was good, but going back to that sort of programming was a real step backwards for productivity. Then Revolution came along with the power of MetaCard but a Mac interface. WooHoo!
I use it for everything: home, work, hobby etc. Work is a small business that uses custom software intensively. I have written programs for process control, kiosks, packing rooms, mailouts, email processing. As well there are small utilities that provide a better interface to commercial applications, text-processing utilities etc. I think that most businesses really need customized software but they either don't realize this or don't know how to go about it, so they struggle on using software that was written to do everything OK but nothing really well.
At home, I chart my golf scores (not always a good thing), publish my photos, document a friend's wine cellar and various other things.
Cheers, Sarah
