Web Custom Controls 1.0 Released
I’m happy to finally announce the availability of Web Custom Controls 1.0 for Real Studio Web Edition. This toolkit has been on a back burner of mine since fall, 2011. I originally thought it would be ready and released around that time, but some initial bugs, client projects, and other events prevented it from coming together. I finally found the time to finish, document, and get this toolkit on the market.
I think you will find that this toolkit adds a tremendous amount of flexibility and potential to WE, and simultaneously solves some of the most common complaints about the platform. While there have been some suggestions and attempts at adding third party widgets and services to WE, nothing like this has been available until now. As evidenced by the new widgets that ship with 1.0, controls created with this toolkit have a level of integration comparable to the built in controls. Web Custom Controls can literally open up entirely new uses for WE.
More controls are on the way. I’m very excited about some of the stuff I’m still working on because of the capabilities that will soon be added to WE.
Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will try to answer them directly or through this blog.
