hi
personally i've pushed mc/rev to the limits (& beyond) for some of my
projects the last few years
i've been investigating a few of these issues & various other
technologies (on the "market") over the last few weeks & usually in my
head i'm thinking... well, it can be done in rev.. ~not~ that rev is
perfect.. yet ;)
the most consistent & important issue on my plate is the "interface"..
it has to work the way i want it to, doesn't matter the backend (which,
again an area rev is maturing). the point is, the interface is where the
action is
someone made a point about debugging ajax.. mainly i think its because
you're dealing with a mixed bag of tricks to make your interface work..
the most popular combo is your typical opensource combo of linux,
apache, php etc but down under here in oz microsoft is top of the pop
chart, ipods excluded :)
but even in the cgi area, rev is improving.. it still seems to need
libraries which i've discovered are not on all public web-hosting
services.. personally, i really dislike doing cgi stuff and would much
rather do it in transcript.. on that subject..
a quick question for the runrev crew..
* Is it possible to get/order custom-compiled versions of rev? (eg.
Stripped down super efficient cgi engine without ~any~ gui code but
still database functional)
i currently develop & test on 3 (mac,pc,linux) platforms & as a one-man
team i prefer rev's unified approach to development
flash is pretty good too.. my update8 is still on order :(
one project i completed last year was actually a flash-rev combo which
worked well (would have been better if i had altbrowser at the time..
currently redeveloping my framework all in rev)
even a "toy" language like blitzmax is exciting because it offers
arcade-quality possibilties in the interface department (in slick opengl
3d etc) & is cross-platform, early days yet but possible to do
server/cgi with & talk to sqlite .. but it's ultimately nostalgic & the
forum participants are mainly a younger generation.
rev can't do that and it doesn't need to but i find the new version of
rev quite stable & have been happily using it the last few days for a
project, although i still get weird coloured syntax highlighting issues,
more so that ye ol metacard :)
