Apps you cannot do without
-
Having just helped install a new PC for a friend and having to suggest various apps that I think she needs I thought it would be interesting to ask the experts what they find essential. Here is my list of apps that I cannot do without: - Macromedia Fireworks - Jasc Paint Shop Pro - WinZip - MS Outlook - MS Word - MS Visio - Visual Interdev - SQL Enterprise Manager - CuteFTP - ICQ - Sonork - Acrobat - MS Internet Explorer - Netscape - Notepad (so handy!) - Terminal Services Seeing as most of my development is ASP, HTML and JavaScript I don't need much in the way of debugging tools or compilers. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

OK, we have covered a lot of the basics. Here are several I have not seen listed. Editor - PFE Unistall - Remove4Good - Gets rid of entries of programs that are already gone and whose names were left (Thanks to install shield failing if the user moved the menu.)

Does that programme actually work? I have heard claims but never really tested them out. Also does anyone not change the start menu structure? I know I put my apps into a very different menu structure to the default. It confuses uninstall apps like hell though. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

I knew a guy who wrote all the back-end processing for an e-commerce application in C++. It was pretty good and very fast. The front-end was all ASP and HTML of course. Also our web content management system has a Word like content editing application with spell checking, full formatting, importing, exporting etc. Much like using Word, only not as infuriating. It is written all in ASP with XML/XSL and a SQL back-end. Of course it uses a VB COM component for the hard stuff but you would be amazed what you can do with Internet Explorer, DHTML and a COM component. You can make a very good UI in a web browser and the COM component does all the data crunching bits. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

So your saying the *hard* UI bits are done in COM objects, I was thinking about ActiveX web components the other day, surely you limiting your audience relying on COM objects. :confused: Normski. - Professional Windows Programmer
Norm Almond wrote: So your saying the *hard* UI bits are done in COM objects, I was thinking about ActiveX web components the other day, surely you limiting your audience relying on COM objects No, no, no UI in COM components. We use the COM components for the number crunching stuff and all the heavy server side processing etc. We avoid ActiveX as much as possible as it is a pain in the arse and does not offer much. You can do amazing things with DHTML. Also the CMS solution is targeted at the people who run and provide content for a website. It then pumps out cross-browser compatible code based on templates etc. So the CMS editor etc. can be targeted for Internet Explorer while the website itself remains cross-browser. Targeting CMS for IE lets us focus on very good UIs. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?
