I was trying to keep from starting another long discussion as to the merits of Rev. To me Rev is a tool set that works well when one is creating an application that is used in one or two offices But, if you are committed to a large project, and I'm not necessarily advocating large projects, you should have a different set of tools in mind
I agree with your first statement, but can't let the second one go without some sort of rebuttal. I would suggest Rev is a tool that works best for creating an application where only a handful of developers are building it. There a numerous examples of commercial Rev apps being used in more than a couple of offices. But, having lots of programmers working on the same Rev app, becomes difficult. Not knowing your definition of a "Large Project", it's hard to critique that statement. But currently I'm working on a large (IMO) CRM and Business Process project management software app, designed to deploy to of thousands of users, and includes contact management, calendaring, messaging, business process management including reports and graphs, full administration capabilities, coaching and more. It's taken 6 months just to blueprint the project and create the interfaces for the 30+ stacks including 12+ files. Currently there are: Total number of controls: 7828 Total number of buttons: 1285 Total number of custom images for buttons and other: 1552 Total number of fields: 633 And we're not done yet, by a long shot. It will end up being programmed by 2 Rev programmers (perhaps with some help from a few others) and a couple server guys. -Chipp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
