CapeSoft
CapeSoft World Tour - Europe Leg
- Newsletter Edition 53 • July 2006 -

 


Bruce and Jono have just returned from an extremely successful visit to the USA. Training on CapeSoft products took place in Newark, Chicago, Los Angeles and
Atlanta. More than 100 programmers attended, and the mood was extremely positive.

More than one person commented that they were nervous that the 2 days would be nothing more than a long sales pitch. However, with the emphasis on
training, the goal was to make people better programmers with the tools they already had and it looks like we succeeded.

The final part of the world tour takes place in Europe, with the following destinations.
Cambridge, England on 29 and 30 of July.
Amsterdam, Netherlands on 1st and 2nd of August.
Drammen, Norway (near Oslo) on 3rd & 4th of August.

Some comments from USA attendees:

"I was worried that it would just be a 2 day sales pitch. But with the emphasis on training I was pleasantly surprised"
- Robert Mikkelson

"It was a great experience and worth every dime. We were very impressed with the amount of time both Bruce and Jono put in for all the many questions before,
during and after the class sessions...I recommend those who could not attend this time, to strongly consider it next time around...Hats off again to Capesoft for an informative and valuable 2 days!"

- Frank & Liz Krause

"Lots of great information about Capesoft products. There is simply not enough time! Capesoft's products are worth 10 times their price. The things they can do
are simply amazing."

- Paul McFarlane

"You both gave a very valuable seminar. I learned a lot and feel empowered to take my apps to the next level. Thanks!"

"The time you spent with us, and the knowledge you were willing to share was invaluable."

"With a combination of their usual COOL - plus plenty of RAZZLE DAZZLE, Bruce and Jono delivered a fantastic event to the attendees in Atlanta this
past Friday and Saturday."

- Charles Edmonds

"For those of you who use Capesoft's products and were unable to attend, I highly recommend attending the next class when it is offered. Your productivity will go up extensively from seeing how Bruce, Jono, and the CS guys work magic with their products."

- Benjamin Krajmalnik




Go ONLINE with NetTalk 4!

NetTalk 4 is here, and it is already showing the world how web apps with Clarion should be done! NetTalk 4 includes 2 major new features, namely Secure Socket Layer (SSL), and full featured, completely template driven, customisable Web Server functionality. The latter can utilize the former, naturally.

So what's so great about this webserver stuff? Well, we're glad you asked that question! One of the primary purposes behind the NetTalk 4 Web technology is being able to utilize both your existing Clarion skills, and your existing Clarion code.

The interface generated utilizes today's latest AJAX and Web 2.0 technologies offering you the smoothest most responsive web interface possible.

You can have a fully functioning web app running in no time - fully template driven, but also customisable.

New Downloads and Installs

CapeSoft's general policy on supported Clarion versions for our Accessories has always been more or less the last 3 major versions of Clarion. In other words, before Clarion 6, we supported Clarion 4, Clarion 5, and Clarion 5.5. Since Clarion 6 releases, there have been many patch releases, and point releases, and many programmers have found the version that suits their programs best, and not necessarily upgraded to the latest version of C6. With these new versions, the runtime library has changed fairly frequently as well, requiring DLL based products to be recompiled for them. This has meant that our downloads and supported versions of Clarion have become rather difficult to maintain.

We have revamped the whole approach, and made it much easier for ourselves, and for you. We now ship one install file containing builds for Clarion 5, Clarion 5.5, and the latest version of Clarion 6 (currently 6.3 9050). If you are using a previous version of Clarion 6 however, and using a DLL based product, then you simply download another patch install for the relevent build. Simple, quick, and works like a charm.
