- Interbase/Firebird Development Studio 5.0 — Any database specialist knows how much his work effectiveness depends on the «right» tools. Of course, you can do database design, analysis, and query development «by hand». But wouldn’t visual «designers», SQL syntax highlighting, code auto-completion, and much more of advanced stuff make you happier and let you do your work faster? Well, if you really want to be a fast and happy database…
- EymBarcodeReader.ocx Decode Bar Code — Barcodes (the approach to encoding data in black-and-white bars) are widely used since their invention in the middle of the XXth century. They have proven themselves to be a universal and reliable mean in cases when a small amount of uniform significant data is to be associated with multiple things and then processed automatically. Though in last years the usage of barcodes has gradually yielded to distant…
- InterBase/Firebird Development Studio 5.1.3. Database Designer. — There is an amazing integrated suite for working with Interbase and Firebird, obviously named InterBase/Firebird Development Studio. It is really brilliant in all of its aspects and components, but I want to speak about the «first between equals» — the Database Designer component. IB/FB Development Studio’s Database Designer is a many-sided crystal. It serves as: Full-fledged visual ER diagram…
- Country Codes 2.7, Data at Fingertips — In today’s vague times of «common» unlimited broadband Internet connection (which is not so common, really) and «modern cool» web-services it is thought that one doesn’t have to store on one’s computer information one can find on web. People with such thoughts typically don’t take into account the amount of time they waste when to find a byte of frequently-used data…
- 3D Graph Generator 2.4, Visualize Smart! — The rapid development of modern computer-graphics hardware and software is a merit of computer games and other entertaining things. However, all those «entertainment-oriented» features can be effectively used for «serious» data visualization and analysis, completely changing the level of understanding of huge data arrays. A good illustration for the thesis is 3D Graph Generator. The program does exactly what the name…
- PSpad, Code Looks Natural — Have you ever tried editing any programming code in the Windows’ standard notepad program? Wasn’t that easy and fun? I bet it was NOT. Although Notepad is light and easy to use, you can hardly recognize your even own code in it: no syntax highlighting or line numbering, and some important characters may even fail to appear. Is there a way to edit a code block without having to run those heavy development…
- Extreme Thumbnail Generator 1.9.3, The Images, The Thumbnails and The Gallery — The task is common, so, I’ll be short in description. You have a set of images (presumably photos) and want to publish them in the web. You don’t want them to be published like, «John, you can download the archive with photos from my FTP», you would rather have a gallery, with thumbnails for each image on several pages and personal pages for each image, cool styles and … The problem is you…
- HtmlCapture ActiveX Control, Web Snapshot In A Few Lines Of Code — Taking shots (images) of web-pages is an often and highly usable programming task. There are scores of possible usages, from large web-archiving suits to small one-time testing scripts; but the general purpose snapshot tools (either PrintScreen or specialized software) aren’t very good for the task. If you want one powerful yet compact solution for the problem which can be used virtually with any programming language, take a look…
- Euphoria Programming Language, Software Development Made Easy — Do you like the modern software? I’d doubt that and don’t know anyone who does — today’s software sucks, to put it mildly; it’s crooked and works not the way it’s supposed to. If you were to re-write all the software that’s installed on your computer, you would have definitely made it a lot prettier, more natural and intuitive — simply better. Just because you know what…
