SRP Contributes to OpenInsight 10
If you’ve opened your email lately, you might have seen Revelation’s latest newsletter announcing our contribution to OpenInsight 10’s editor capabilities. At this year’s Houston conference we witnessed Revelation’s massive effort to make the new IDE relevant, productive, and very pleasant to use—the same philosophy behind the SRP Editor. We approached Revelation Software shortly thereafter with a desire to bring the SRP Editor in some form to OI 10.
OpenInsight 10 – The New IDE
As a first follow-up to our inaugural review of the 2015 Revelation User’s Conference and the public reveal of OpenInsight 10 it seemed appropriate to focus upon the heart of the product itself: the IDE. This also happened to be the first major component that was shown to the attendees who waited eagerly for the first glimpse of the long awaited product.
Hiding OECGIx.exe Using URL Rewriting
Overview
With the rising demand for proper and established standards with web-based applications SRP has been rather busy implementing Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs. We will be sharing our experiences and best practice approaches to this in upcoming articles. Since Semantic URLs are often considered an important element of implementing RESTful APIs we wanted to lead off with an article that explains how all versions of the OECGI can be hidden from the URL.
RevCon 2015 and OpenInsight 10
It is the week after the major company event of 2015 wherein Revelation Software at long last revealed to the public their upcoming crown jewel: OpenInsight 10. Certainly there have been glimpses of the product by those who diligently followed the Building OpenInsight 10 Blog. Yet, nothing compares to the experiencing of having the product make a live appearance, in full display, on the big screen, and in all of its shiny glory.
SRP Utilities 1.5 Released
SRP is pleased to announce the release of SRP Utilities 1.5. This release contains two new methods. The first method is SRP_JSON, and it is a fully featured JSON API. The second is SRP_Stopwatch, a handy tool to make it very easy to benchmark your code. Two small routines that will pack a mighty punch in terms of productivity and ease of use.
ARev32 – Emulating Port Based Printing
When Revelation Software announced the development of ARev32 many years ago, we must confess that we were not overly enthusiastic about the news. After all, it was hard enough trying to convince our long-term Advanced Revelation (aka AREV) clients to finally upgrade their systems to OpenInsight. ARev32 seemed to be just another way for businesses to remain standing still with their legacy systems. Of course, all that changed when many of our accounts began to face the dilemma of upgrading their workstations beyond Windows XP. Yes, a full conversion to OpenInsight would still be ideal, but we had to admit that some businesses simply do not have the budget for a project of this scope. Faced with the prospect of losing the client for a cheap off-the-shelf product, we quickly discovered the value of ARev32. Suffice to say we have become converts and great admirers of this product. It is truly remarkable how well it preserves the AREV look, feel, and functionality. There are a few differences, of course, but these are typically the result of the underlying technology required to implement ARev32 as an emulated environment. Fortunately, most of these are easy to work around.

SRP Ribbon Control BETA
SRP is pleased to announce our newest control, the SRP Ribbon Control.
The SRP Ribbon Control brings the toolbar user interface made popular by recent versions of Microsoft Office. Ribbon controls completely replace the old menus used by the Presentation Server. No more cumbersome menus and makeshift toolbars. All your application’s commands are in one place, easy to modify, and easy to code against. In addition to making your life as a developer easier, your application takes on any one of the latest Office themes that suit your taste.
We are releasing a BETA version of the control, today, totally free for the next thirty days. No popups. No catches. We simply want the community to try it out and let us know if they encounter any issues. We ran it through some extensive testing, so we’re confident any issues will be minor. Our wiki has been updated to include help documentation to get you started, but we’ve provided a quick overview of this new control’s features here to whet your appetite.
