Revolution
Revolution is a rapid development tool. It is cross-platform (Mac, Windows, Linux) and uses an easy to learn scripting language called revTalk, which provides programmers' power to scripters.
Revolution can be used for any scale of project: for example single use text processing utilities, complex applications, prototyping, and can be learnt by professionals, hobbyists or beginners.
revMedia is ideal for beginners and intermediate developers.
- using Media, you can create stacks that run using the free Media Player.
revMedia is now FREE! And it can also be used with the new RevWeb plugin to publish stack in a web browser. Follow the link above to sign up for the alpha program and get your free licence code.
revStudio is ideal for most developers and hobbyists.
- using Studio, you can create sophisticated standalone applications for any of the major operating systems.
revEnterprise is ideal for professional developers.
- using Enterprise, you get multi-platform editing, Oracle database access, secure sockets as well as all the features of Studio.
revWeb is RunRev's new technology allowing you to embed Revolution stacks in a web page. For some examples, loook in the stacks listing below for any Revlets.

News
The Rodeo is coming to town!
Apple has changed the iPhone developer agreement so that all apps for the iPhone/iPad App store must be written in Objective-C, C or C++ or in Javascript for use in the browser. As a Revolution developer, this is a blow, since I find developing in Objective-C too slow. So it looks like web apps are the way to go instead, but even they require extensive knowledge of HTML, CSS, Javascript etc. Jerry Daniels has come up with a plan to allow quick and easy development for the iPad. Rodeo is the name of this new project. Check out the introductory videos for more details.New editor available for RunRev
Jerry Daniels of GLX fame has now created a new editor for RunRev. tRev is a standalone app that interacts with RunRev via sockets. Visit the Rev Editor site and check out the videos, especially the earlier ones, to see how to use tRev.Sample Stacks
These stacks are all freely available. They are supplied as-is and any use is at your own risk.Some of the stacks are also usable online as a revlet, if you have the RevWeb plugin installed.
Click any 'Revlet' link to see the stack or to see a download link for the plugin.
If you include any of these stacks or code in an application, please credit Sarah Reichelt, TrozWare.

- Launch
- Rev has a problem with Mac OS X application paths as it doesn't totally understand the way they are really folders. This utility uses a combination of AppleScript and Transcript to get the path to an application so that it can be started or activated using the launch command. Intended for Mac OS X only, but will probably work with other Mac systems.

- Speed Revlet
- In my HyperCard days, I got a lot of useful information from an AOL conference scripting stack that discussed various ways to speed up HyperCard. Here is my attempt to provide a similar service for Revolution programmers. If anyone has any other good speed tips to add, please let me know.
