CHAPTER 1 AN INTRODUCTION TO REALBASIC (Bulletproof web design)
CHAPTER 1 AN INTRODUCTION TO REALBASIC The capability to remotely debug applications. This feature is available only on the Professional Editions of REALbasic. REALbasic now has a built-in remote debugging capability that enables programmers to remotely test and debug applications running on one computer from a completely different network computer. In addition, the two computers being used do not even have to be running the same OS. Built-in support for the SQLite database. Previous versions of REALbasic included support for REALbasic s REAL Database. In REALbasic 2005, REAL Database has been replaced with the SQLite database, providing REALbasic with an even more powerful industry-recognized database. A rapid release online distribution model. With the release of REALbasic 2005, REAL Software began providing fixes, updates, and upgrades for REALbasic every 90 days. This will provide REALbasic programmers with access to new features that other competing software developers may not incorporate into their programming languages for up to 18 months. Supported Development Platforms This book makes a distinction between the computers and OSs used to run REALbasic and create applications, and those computers and OSs where applications are ultimately run. The computer and OSs where REALbasic is installed (for example, your computer) is referred to as the development platform, whereas the computers and OSs where the applications you create will ultimately run (for example, your customer s computers) are referred to as the execution platforms. Once installed, REALbasic looks and runs the same way on each of its supported development platforms. However, its minimum and recommended hardware requirements vary for each supported OS. Macintosh REALbasic Standard and REALbasic Professional both have the same minimum hardware requirements. Like most software applications, REALbasic runs better when additional hardware resources are available. Table 1-1 outlines REALbasic s minimum and recommended hardware requirements when running on the Macintosh OS. Table 1-1. REALbasic s Minimum and Recommended Hardware Requirements for Execution on Macintosh Resource Minimum Requirements Recommended Requirements Processor Any PowerPC capable of 800GHz G4 or higher running Mac OS X Memory 512MB 768MB Operating Systems Mac OS X 10.2.8 or higher Mac OS X 10.3.9 or higher
