Bring RunRevLive to your den
This self-paced DVD set is a great way to teach yourself programming
As some of you may know by now, the RunRevLive DVD box set is now available for purchase through our store, and on special offer until the end of the month. In the end, it ran to 8 discs and over 30 hours of jampacked information, screenshots and sessions from some of the most prominent experts in the Revolution field. If you want to learn how to program with Revolution, this DVD set is an invaluable aid.
To find out more about the creation of this masterpiece, I interviewed the man responsible for the filming and production, Jon Berastegui. Find out what he thinks about the whole experience.

This article answers the question, why might you need a SQLite comparison tool? Revolution's built-in revDB functionality supports the use of SQLite database files within Revolution projects. SQLite can be used as a fast and lightweight database engine useful for storing application preferences or even as the main data store for single-user applications. |

Read on for more handy ways to use the technique. |
