Edinburgh Scotland, January 20th 2005
Runtime Revolution announced today that all users of SUSE LINUX will be
able to receive Revolution Express 2.2 free via the Novell Cool
Solutions website. The offer accompanies a series of tutorials on the
Novell Cool Solutions website by computing expert Tom Russell (known as
Stomfi) on how to program on the Linux platform using Revolution
Express.
"We are delighted to provide Revolution Express to Novell SUSE LINUX users," said Kevin Miller, CEO of Runtime Revolution. "Revolution
Express represents the ideal way for professional or novice programmers
to develop custom, multimedia, Internet and database applications for
Linux."
Revolution Express 2.2 is part of the
multi platform range of developer tools from Runtime Revolution, which
includes Dreamcard and Revolution Studio and Enterprise. Revolution
Express lets users build stand-alone applications for Linux, users who
upgrade to Dreamcard 2.5 will be able to build stacks which operate via
a player on every major platform. Those who upgrade to Revolution
Studio or Enterprise 2.5 can build free standing applications for every
major platform.
"Forget complex programming languages, Revolution Express means that anyone can now create software" Russell said. "Its
easy-to-use interface and English-like programming language make it
ideal for my newbie oriented tutorials, but its advanced features also
make Revolution suitable for professional and enterprise users."
Stomfi uses Runtime Revolution Express 2.2.1 on SUSE LINUX because it
is the only easy way to create professional bug free graphical user
interfaces for applications without having to learn a technical
programming language. The Transcript language used in Revolution has
made it possible for Stomfi to show newbie users how to create
sophisticated windowing interfaces complete with buttons, click fields,
graphics, sounds, and interfacing to the powers of the Linux shell. The
amazing Revolution help system, examples and on line support, both from
www.runrev.com and the user community gives Stomfi the means to quickly
find out and apply any aspect he needs to inform his readers.
