Clarion 7 / Clarion.Net / IDE video

You can follow the link below to see a video presentation that I originated for the Aussie DevCon. Unfortunately I was late completing it for DevCon, but thanks to Tony York, the conference organizer, this presentation did make it onto the post-conference CD. The video is the first in a series that cover Clarion 7 and Clarion.Net, and of course the new IDE. This first video is an overview -- I don’t go digging around in source code, and I don’t go into detailed demos of the IDE. But the slides cover the main features of the new IDE components.

Clarion developers who expected to Clarion 7 to only deliver on their new IDE expectations should be pleasantly surprised – Clarion 7 also has a lot of new UI features, during the video I demo some of the new UI features in a comparison of v6 and v7 applications.

Keep tuned to this site because we’re working on videos that describe in-depth the functionality of each of the new IDE components. And for you developers who are craving for Clarion.Net, we have a lot of new videos that will be forthcoming.

The video was recorded in 1024x768 resolution, but was output at 800x600 in Flash format (in two different sizes) to try to maintain reasonable bandwidth requirements. Even so, the videos are a pretty good size, so expect a delay after you click the link before the video starts.

View video presentation – (Medium-Low bandwidth recommended)

View video presentation - (Broadband or better recommended)

Optionally, you can also just download a PDF of the PowerPoint slides which are a part of the video presentation, you won’t have the audio and you’ll miss the C7 demo, but the screen shots show very clearly.

Addendum to original post:
For those users who can't seem to get the flash movie to play due to bandwidth or other issues, here is a link to download the smaller video via FTP:
ftp://216.55.163.21/vid/C7-vid1-mlq.zip
After you unzip it just load the HTML page and that will start the movie.

Hi Robert,

First, thanks for the video ... good to see that SV is starting to let the cat out of the bag.

I have a few questions:

1) Any change we will get Outlook style panels?

2) Listbox headers …
a. Can they have icons
b. Can the sort indicator be an icon? vs. the +/-

3) Assuming the application is build using Clarion.net … will the same app/templates generate both Win & Web forms?

4) What are going to be the differences between Prof. & EE?

There won't be a new language structure for Outlook style menu panels, but a template to support that style is a possibility. If you subscribe to Clarion Magazine (clarionmag.com) there was an article written a few years ago that details how you can implement this now.
Currently we don't have plans for icons in the List header.

The topic of the .Net templates and the structure of the generated code is a huge subject and really rquires a lengthy post of its own. I won't be able to finish that this week, and next week I'm off to recharge the batteries with a week of hiking. So for now I'll just say that the template design accomodates multiple target platforms (win, web, mobile), with a high degree of shared common code, and a great deal of flexibility in the data access layer.

There are some pretty cool features in EE v7, I'll see if I can writeup a post this week.

I've updated the original post with a link to FTP download the video -- for those who can't get the flash movie.

Bob,

If you are going to recharge your batteries next week, does that mean we will see the hybrid version this week?

Nod your head. ;-)

the new visual components are excellent, but the publisher of embed code is optimum!
thanks
