The company BrowserBob Weblications has announced the release of version 3.2 of their multi-award winning multimedia authoring solution BrowserBob. The tool, which originally was a visual browser authoring solution, enabling users to generate fully branded standalone browsers via Drag & Drop, has evolved to the web application authoring solution of the future with the latest release. BrowserBob makes available a whole new concept for efficient creation of professional applications without the need of programming skills. Application interfaces are created via Drag & Drop, behaviours are chosen from menus – programmers can even add their own functionalities using standard script languages.
By integration of standard internet technologies with fully customizable user interfaces and preconfigured button functions, BrowserBob finally fills the gap between desktop application design and web design. Web designers are able to create real applications now and desktop programmers can move their apps’ to the web using this tool. The open architecture for use with JavaScript or VBScript extensions and Flash makes it an efficiency booster for web designers and developers.
“Sometimes you would just like to be able to hand someone a small, custom multimedia browser so that you can deliver Web applications very efficiently. (…) I have yet to figure out what you can’t build in the way of a customized browser.” Mark Gibbs, tech-newsletter author, Network World.
The Professional Edition of BrowserBob generates customized standalone programs of various types, combining current web technologies and media to new exciting applications.
Usage of the tool is straight forward, as applications are generated by simply dragging components such as buttons to their intended place, setting parameters, assigning the graphics and choosing ready made behaviours from menus. Existing files (html-pages, any media, external programs, flash, pdf, anything viewable in a browser) can be integrated and shipped with the finished program via few clicks of the mouse.
Advanced features include interface change on the fly, control of the whole application out of html-pages via script extensions, combination of multiple behaviours to action lists, multiple content windows on a single interface, global variables to be exchanged by 3rd parties and many more…
Finishing an application could not be simpler than clicking a button in order to generate a selfextracting exe, a fully branded setup for your application, make it an interactive screensaver or even generate the application as activeX control for launch via a link from the web. This is a world exclusive feature of BrowserBob Professional Edition, allowing you to create real free-floating homepages.
BrowserBob applications can be re-branded by 3rd parties using the free BrowserBob Tuner tool, which allows users (such as affiliate resellers of eBooks) to change global variables and enter their own values such as startpages, reseller ID’s and whatever has been foreseen by the creator for later changes.
Mainly targeting professional users such as web developers and media agencies, the tool is in fact usable by an audience, which never dreamt of being able to create real applications until today. The company claims the program will generate results in the hands of averagely skilled PC users or the full purchase price will be refunded without questions.
BrowserBob comes in 3 versions, a professional edition, feature limited developer and light editions, as well as an already powerful freeware program. All commercial versions are available as 30 day fully functional trial downloads on the BrowserBob homepage: http://www.browserbob.com
Additionally BrowserBob provides a full, unlocked special edition for the press, in order to distribute it on cover mount CD’s to their readers. This version is given away in exchange for editorial content in the magazine.
The Berlin based company was founded in 1999 and has focused on improving their product BrowserBob ever since.
