2009-06-28T10:56:27Z 70507 0 Well I really like Delphi, have used it for a long time and always thought it was superior to the likes of Visual Basic, but it did loose its way a bit. Anyhow, it's a solid IDE, very good VCL, pretty decent compiler, and all the bits and pieces you could want from a modern programming language. And you get C++ Builder too, of course, which I don't really use but seems pretty good too. 1506180 2009-05-21T09:12:36Z 230240 2009-11-30T16:56:06Z CodeGear RAD Studio 43 2009-10-23T01:06:55Z http://www.codegear.com http://wakoopa.com/software/codegear-rad-studio http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/097/302/normal.png?1246995190 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/097/302/thumb.png?1246995190 1770 CodeGear http://wakoopa.com/developers/codegear 51 Text Editors & IDEs http://wakoopa.com/categories/development/text-editors-ides win CodeGear RAD Studio is a complete rapid application development solution with everything you need to build native Windows®, .NET, Web, and database applications.

Originally introduced alongside Photoshop version 7, Photoshop Elements targets photography enthusiasts and thus lacks many features that make it useful in a proper print production environment. For example, Photoshop Elements cannot export files in the CMYK color mode, supports a simplified color management system, and excludes detailed soft-proofing. It also either eliminates completely or offers simplified versions of some of the more powerful plug-ins, along with a number of features aimed at non-experts (such as removing the red-eye effect or changing the skin tone in a picture). An example of a redesigned feature would be the Variations correction dialog. Some versions can, however, open, edit, and save PDFs. 2009-04-15T16:31:36Z 53711 0 Thunderbird has been my email client of choice for years, simply because it's easy to use, isn't bloated like Outlook, is reliable, and of course free.

It offers all of the basic features you need to create decent flash objects, comes with loads of samples, is scriptable. While it isn't good enough for creating big, complex flash websites, if you want an easy solution for creating small-scale flash objects, then it is a good value and straight-forward piece of software. 1232524 2007-05-07T07:50:52Z 7568 2009-11-30T11:34:35Z SWiSH Max 266 2009-09-12T10:00:09Z http://www.swishzone.com/index.php?area=products&product=max http://wakoopa.com/software/swish-max http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/026/normal.gif?1238519948 http://mallow.wakoopa.com/avatars/000/004/026/thumb.gif?1238519948 2606 SWiSHzone.com Pty Ltd http://wakoopa.com/developers/swishzonecom-pty-ltd Create cool graphics or designs 7 Design http://wakoopa.com/categories/design win SWISH Max works similarly to Adobe Flash, in particular due its use of objects, vector graphics, keyframes and scripting. Its main advantage compared to Flash is its large number of automated effects and transitions, which make building certain Flash elements such as buttons, advanced transition effects and interactive Flash sites easier, and the fact of it being more lightweight as a program. However it lacks certain features as well as the general-purpose flexibility of the Adobe Flash suite, which it complements rather than substitutes. A major drawback is its inability to open or save .FLA files, which limits exchanges between the two programs to final .swf files, again emphasizing their complementary nature.
