- 3S Web Tools v2.5. Web Developer's Joy. — The website development is a strange thing. Unlike other programming and near-programming activities, webdev requires much more of good taste, common sense, and wish to «do well» rather than strong programming skills. And even when some (or more) of programming IS required, such tasks are rather routine and only require time and accuracy, not «fantasia». So, whenever somebody or something can relieve you from such kind…
- 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…
- SWF Toolbox 3.1.12, Obedient Flash — The Flash (SWF) and Flash Video (FLV) file formats are very common and useful on the Web. Their only drawback is their «thing in itself» nature: You hardly can change those files, extract their parts or convert them to other formats. You hardly can — unless you have SWF Toolbox! In this case, you can do virtually any conversion with Flash/Flash Video files. Here is an (incomplete) description of what SWF Toolbox allows…
- AscToHTM, Web Designers, Take a Rest! — What options do we normally have when it comes to posting a document online? Not much, really: a plain-text editor with the knowledge of HTML (a good bargain but with a bit of headache for the bonus), WYSIWYG HTML editor (a less achy solution that pulls cash out of our pocket) or… How about using a converter for that? Suppose, you have a plain-text file laid out in a certain format. You could just load…
- Aero SWF.max 1.5.800, Flash Can Play Better — Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash) is an all-today’s-goodies format. Small games, rich interfaces, video publishing, blah-blah. But there’s one major drawback of downloaded flash videos: it’s their playback. Flash packed as EXE behave like a video-player with very poor features, other flash formats (swf, flv) are typically opened in browser and behave like a video-player without any features, even play/pause. If there…
- Watermarking – protect your images on the web with a few mouse clicks — If you upload many images to the web or actively trade on Ebay, you are probably quite concerned with protecting your content from unauthorized use and distribution. After all, some of your images, if used in an inappropriate context, may compromise you or create an awkward situation that will be hard to deal with afterwards. Apparently, adding a mark to the photos you make public is a good way of solving this…
- Flash2X Flash Hunter - just save a Flash movie you found on the web and enjoy it later — Today’s Internet is full of Flash movies of all sorts. A great part of them are useless ad banners, but it’s not at all uncommon to come across real masterpieces, as well as short movies, trailers, teasers and other kinds of content that you would gladly save on your hard drive and watch later. Unfortunately, most Flash players and movies are protected from being downloaded and saved…
- SiteCraft - your ideal launch pad into the world of web design — The art of website creation is a huge discipline — and it takes years to become a real master in it. Besides, the first steps are always the hardest ones. Without knowledge, guidance and proper tools even the simplest task becomes a pain in the neck and takes hours. If you are just starting to work your way towards the pinnacle of success as a web designer, you need something that will give you a little…
- Lizard Protector Web Content Security: By Invitation Only! — The web is a very convenient media for conveying information to the masses. However, not all information is made to be shared by everyone, especially where information is confidential and privy only to certain parties. The easiest way to shield sensitive information from prying eyes is to password-protect confidential pages. However passwords are insecure since they can be easily shared with others and/or cracked. So there…
