New to Rev & Use-Rev List - Some Questions - RevMentor

[Thomas McGrath III]

Mark,

Welcome to the Revolution!

First, I would seriously consider how much cross development you would  
be doing. Not Distribution but actual coding. I think it would be nice  
for you to have Enterprise but you may find that you only use the PC  
side (like I do) for a small period of time. Where as with Mac Studio  
you save some money and down the road if you really need to develop on  
both platforms then you can upgrade.  And with studio you can save the  
standalone as a Win exe and open it right up in Parallels to test and  
then make changes to the Mac stack and build again. But if you find  
you will have to do this alot then consider the more expensive  
Enterprise. I use Enterprise because I make a living using Rev and  
need the convenience of both.

I would skip buying the docs and see if you can get away with the PDF/ 
Dictionary. I learn by doing and seeing how someone else did it. So I  
used an entire folder of sample projects from various sites and  
sources. I tore them apart and made changes and broke them and then  
tried to fix them. I was up and running in no time. The videos would  
have helped me but they were not around then.

Check Myre to see if they have any bundled versions because things  
like GLX2 and animation engine etc. come in handy. The mentor program  
looks interesting too.

Good luck and welcome again,

Tom McGrath
