Which Version

[jroller]

Have previously (5+ years ago) authored cd's using iShell. Really liked the platform, but it seems to have died in the interim (yes, I it does still exists, but if not dead, then it appears to be languishing at best.)

Looking at runrev for a project I am considering authoring. Unless I missed it, there doesn't seem to be a very easy way to distinguish between the products. Is there a visual checklist of some sort that shows which features are available in which products?

Thanks in advance....

In brief:

RevMedia is currently only useful for authoring content to be viewed with the RevWeb browser plugin.

RevStudio lets you deploy to Win, OS X, and Linux, but you can only develop and debug on a single platform.

RevEnterprise lets you develop on all three platforms, and includes some additional DB support, secure sockets, and membership to the improve-rev list providing access to early builds of new versions.

FWIW, I found many aspects of iShell intriguing, and keep a copy on my hard drive to explore now and then. Interesting take on authoring, unlike anything else I've seen. I sometimes daydream about having enough time on my hands to build an iShell-like IDE for the Rev engine, but alas I have enough work on the IDE I'm already making to add another for a long time. If anyone chose to give it a shot I'd be happy to contribute what I can to such an effort. It would be fun, and would help show of the flexibility of the Rev engine.

Thanks to you both.

I am not a programmer-type by any stretch. I am a high school yearbook advisor. We used iShell to author cd's to included supplemental material for our yearbook. We authored very professional looking programs with iShell. When I moved to the DVD, I was appalled by what appeared to be a total waste of space dictated by the DVD-standards. I could get almost as many videos, photos, and music on the CD as I could on a DVD. In addition, with the CD's, we could include a VR tour of our school, which of course doesn't work on DVD players.

In this case, I have a notion in my head to author a program to help teach young athletes some basic strategies of their game. Can't find anything like it on the web, so I figured I could make my own. If it works out, maybe I would offer it for sale. We'll see.

Thanks...
