Revolution 3.0

Revolution 3.0 is an effective software that supports cross-platform database access, advanced multimedia including Quicktime movies and virtual reality, and a range of other advanced features.

It is an integrated development environment for Mac OS (Classic and X), Unix, and Windows computers.

Using Revolutions user interface layout tools and built-in Transcript programming language, developers can create standalone, double-clickable applications for any supported platform.

You use familiar WYSIWYG tools to lay out your user interface, then write the code that ties it all together. Run and test your application right in the IDE. No matter what platform you use for development, a simple Preview command shows you how your application will look in Windows, Unix, or Mac OS.

Finally, either release your application as a file distribution that runs in the freely downloadable Revolution runtime, or build true double-clickable applications for release on each platform you want to support.
