Rev is now at version 2.5 and in all this time there has never been a comprehensive guide to the IDE, the very thing that made it "revolution for the masses" over Metacard. While people with some experience can "grok" out many features of the IDE, there are still many things that are obscure. We've continued to see questions on this forum about the Property Inspectors, the Standalone builder, the script editor, the debugger, the menu builder, the application browser, etc, etc. Quite frankly, I am baffled by this. There has been so much energy put into the references docs and the video tutorials, I can't fathom why this fundamental aspect of the documentation has continued to go missing. I can't think of one significant application that doesn't explain its own workings in its documentation. It's sort of like Microsoft releasing Word with documentation on writing in the English language but virtually nothing on the operation of Word itself. It seems the epitome of silliness to put this as a feature request in Bugzilla. Can one of the Rev folks comment on why clear documentation on the features of the IDE is not available? -- Regards, Howard Bornstein ----------------------- www.designeq.com _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
