The TSW Blog

I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year. 2008 has been a great year for TSW, being able to release both TSW phpCoder 2008, a new version of TSW SiteSync and release a beta version of the next version of TSW WebCoder. As always, I have a very good feeling about this new piece of software, and I'm already thrilled to receive all your beta feedback. I wish for an especially merry Christmas to all the beta testers :).

Last year, I gave you the gift of information: A demo video of one of the new and cool features of phpCoder 2008. This year, I thought I would make my gift a bit more... monetary. From today and through the rest of 2008, I'm offering a 25% discount on all TSW applications! That's right, pick an application or even one of the bundles, for example WebCoder and SiteSync together, and you get a 25% discount. All you have to do is go to this customized ordering page^[1] and take your pick, before the end of the year. I wish to remind you that if you purchase WebCoder 2007 or phpCoder 2008, you will be able to purchase the upcoming WebCoder 2009 with an upgrade discount, once the final version has been released.

That's all I have to say for today. Once again, merry Christmas to you and your family :)

After the first week of beta testing, I'm happy to present you with the next beta version. It contains numerous bug fixes, so I urge everyone to upgrade. Thank you for your effort so far, and keep up the good work :)

Also, I would like to give away a free commercial TSW WebCoder 2009 license to the 5 most active betatesters once the final version has been released - as usual :)

In case you're wondering what's new in WebCoder 2009, I urge you to read all the posts I have written on the progress of this new version. They will give you a lot of details on most of the new functionality. For a complete list of blog posts, use this link.

Please be aware that this is beta software. It's meant for testing only, and if you don't feel comfortable using software with known bugs and quirks, you should wait for the final version.

It's with great honor that I present you with the very first beta version of TSW WebCoder 2009. Seeing as this is the first beta version, I wish to remind you that the feature list is not necessarily complete yet. If you find something that you would like implemented, be sure to let me know already now. The longer we get into the beta process, the more reluctant I will be to implement new features, in keeping with the goal of a stable, final release.

It brings me a lot of pleasure to write this specific part in the "Making of..." series :). For the last couple of WebCoder versions, and with phpCoder as well, the most requested feature has been JavaScript IntelliSense. JavaScript is more popular than ever before, and I have been wanting it just as much as you guys. But if you look around, you will notice that only very few editors has JavaScript IntelliSense - JavaScript is a tricky technology to support! Fortunately, I have received loads of help from the most talented JavaScript guru I know, Brian Hjøllund. He has written the JavaScript parser for WebCoder 2009, and it allows me to combine knowledge of your code with knowledge about both the JavaScript language and the Document Object Model and thereby bring you some very cool functionality. I promised to make WebCoder 2009 even more web-centric, and I think that the added JavaScript functionality is a very important step in that direction. Here's a couple of screenshots that will show you what I'm talking about:

So, what do you think? :)
