Freeway Express 5.4.1 (Mac OS X)

Does exactly what I needed  

I had been producing graphic intensive web sites for years, but was always been frustrated by the numerous steps to get graphics, text and multimedia in the appropriate format from source data to the web page. Initially I coded my sites with html, but with changes in browsers, I kept running into compliance issues. So I gave it up for a long time until I needed to produce a web site for myself. With the advances in WYSIWYG web development software, I was sure I would find a strategy that would help me. After trying Dreamweaver and a couple of others, I was discouraged. But just before going back to generating my own code I ran across a podcast about Freeway Express on iTunes. I watched and thought it was to good to be true. So after downloading the demo and trying it (following the podcast tutorial) for a couple of hours, I forked over the $79 bucks and have been happy as a clam ever since. I built an entire website in one night (8 hours give or take) from scratch! Basically it take the tragedy of coding, formatting and media conversion out of the creative process. I think its fantastic and would encourage any one else to at least try it. [alert admin]

Freeway Express 5.1 (Mac OS X)

It does EXACTLY what it claims  

Its been 11 years since I last encoded any HTML. I am relearning the language, but could not postpone the generation of my website any longer. After reading the reviews from VersionTracker, I downloaded and installed this version of Freeway Express. It did exactly what it claimed. My site was up and running in less than a weekend. This was from scratch with only a couple of sketches that I scribbled in my notebook. I must admit, it took me a couple of hours of back and forth between the User Manual, the Video Tutorial and my website before I got a good understanding of the tools and how to use them, but 12 hours later, I had a fully functional website without ever having to code a thing! But don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself at www.asquared-inc.com. As for editing the site, Freeway Express takes responsibility for its own coding. I simple open the FreewayExpress file and it manages all of the website files, even if you rename them! Sure if you have an existing web site, Freeway Express will not open and edit them for you. It is unreasonable for any HTML generator to interpret the way that another application organized and encoded a specific web site. Heck its tough enough to read the current version of HTML generated by most web site builder programs, let alone trying to tweak it with something other than a text editor like BBEdit, TextEdit or TextMate. I highly recommend this app for newbies and expert alike. Its a real time saver since you don't have to CODE a thing. [alert admin]

archCalc 1.8.1 (Mac OS X)

At long last, an calculator for AEC  

This is a fine little app and has great potential for other AEC calculation capabilities. My only issue was its size on the screen. The buttons are much smaller than other calculators on the Mac which consequently slowed down data entry (unless one uses the number pad).
Feature that would be great would be:

Freeway does not edit existing pages  

I have to disagree with you on a number of levels. As a former programmer, I did my own coding and it was never the same as my fellow programmers. Some were cleaner and some not as clean as mine. The point being, if I had to edit the another persons code and I was not familiar with their method of annotation within the HTML code, I could spend hours if not…

If you are not a newbie, you can access the html code directly through notepad or textedit for existing sites.

who is waiting for this ?!  

Well, lets see here, was the Catholic Church responsible for WWII? Were not Catholics, along side Jews, Pols, and Russians in the gas chambers? Lets take a look at the numbers. Jews grossly terminated by Hitler: 5 million; Pol's grossly terminated by Hitler: 11 million ; Russians grossly terminated by Hitler: 25 million. Oddly enough JPII was one of the few Pol's that survived the initial onslaught of the Nazi's (while…
