Revolution delivers.. - Version: 2.5, 3/9/2005 02:19PM PST

At Altuit, we use Runtime Revolution (RR) for many front-ends
to our web-application server products. Included among them are popup alert
managers, homeland security data sharing apps, our highly acclaimed
"Hemingway" content management system and more. You can go to our developer
website to learn more.
It really does deliver on the promise of cross-platform development. We have
recently completed a brainstorming software development project for ExitPath
called eXpertSystem, which will take the place of their award winning IdeaFisher
product. They had been trying to deliver this same product for over 8 months
using RealBasic. It took us all of a month to replicate the functionality, plus
add many new features for our client.
We develop in C, C++ and all the scripting languages. But, we find we can
develop applications an order of magnitude faster using RR. In cases where we
need special functionality, we create our own externals to work with RR
(including an embedded browser so developers can build their own 'i-Tunes' like
client). RR is based upon 11-year old technology which gets better with each
release-- that's why it is so stable.

Strongest ROI of any dev tool I've used - Version: 2.5, 3/9/2005 01:34PM PST

I've been shipping commercial apps with it for years, and this latest release is the most rock-solid yet.
Thanks, Rev team!
My company has been using Revolution for the last 3 years to develop multimedia applications involving history and tasked based learning. I've been extremely happy with it. Coming from a Director/Flash/PHP background it took a little getting used to the Revolution way of doing things but now I wouldn't go back.
Revolution's powerful scripting language combined with it's excellent database connectivity, easy dynamic creation of objects at runtime, QuickTime support, XML parsing and internet connectivity allow us to create rich user experiences. More than once I've discovered that adding a feature to our software was much easier than I had originally anticipated because of all the options that Revolution makes available. Highly recommended.
