FOR CLIPPER PROGRAMMERS:
========================
Do you want to squeeze every bit of power out of Clipper 5.0? Are
there times when you get stumped by a problem and could use the
opinion of a Clipper guru? If so, you owe it to yourself to join a
growing legion of Clipper developers in the Clipper think tank -- The
Aquarium.
The Aquarium is a monthly disk-based publication catering to the
specific needs of the Clipper developer. The Aquarium's goal is
simple: to make you as productive as possible in your Clipper
programming endeavors, without putting you to sleep. You will find The
Aquarium's editorial tone to be refreshingly different from what you
may be accustomed to. Our authors include: Greg Lief and Joe Booth
(co-authors of "Clipper 5: A Developer's Guide"), Kent Kingery, Ted
Means, Clayton Neff, and Forest Belt. All of these authors have
spoken at Nantucket Developers Conferences, and have a writing style
that will entertain and educate you.
The Aquarium's articles cover every facet of Clipper 5, including
lexical scoping, the preprocessor, multi-dimensional arrays, code
blocks, TBrowse, the GET system, object-oriented and Windows
programming, etcetera. As our subscribers tell us, "there is no
better source for understandable Clipper 5 technical information".
The Aquarium lets you view articles at the same time as the
accompanying source code. You can move between windows, and scroll
each window independently. Articles and source code can be printed to
printer or text file. You may also print an entire month's articles
and source code with the touch of a key.
If you have a Clipper question, The Aquarium's integrated Message
Center helps you get answers fast. The Message Center lets you
communicate effortlessly with the most knowledgeable Clipper
developers in the world. Compose your messages off-line, then press a
key to send them. If any messages are waiting for you, the Message
Center downloads them for you to read, print, and respond to at your
leisure. If you have a Clipper question, post a general message, and
within hours you will have several helpful answers. The Message
Center also supports PKUNZIP, which means that your on-line time will
be kept to an absolute minimum (generally under two minutes.)
Other ways that The Aquarium takes advantage of the disk-based medium:
- Searches: You can search for articles and reviews by title, author,
date and keyword. Our articles and table of contents are additive. You
can search for all previous articles at one fell swoop instead of
having to hunt through a stack of back issues. This feature alone will
save you countless hours.
- Suggested Readings: The Aquarium is the only Clipper publication to
provide an index of articles in other Clipper publications! Never
again will you search fruitlessly for an article that you know you
read "somewhere". When you perform an author or keyword search, you
will be shown a listing of all relevant Aquarium articles. Another
keypress, and you will be given a listing of ALL related articles in
other Clipper publications!
Each issue contains the equivalent of 80-100 full-size pages of
articles and source code examples! (All articles are stored in
compressed format to minimize storage requirements -- each month's
articles will occupy approximately 100K.) Every issue is mailed no
later than the first week of the issue month.
How much would you pay a Clipper guru to be on-call to answer your
toughest Clipper questions? Would it be worth fifty cents a day? The
subscription rate for The Aquarium is less than that. Aquarium
subscribers also receive a free bonus: "Visible TBrowse".
Visible TBrowse is a tremendous way for you to harness the
unbelievable power of TBrowse without spending weeks fumbling with it.
Visible TBrowse lets you interactively design your TBrowse
configuration. You have complete control over all browse and column
instance variables. You can move, insert, and delete columns in
seconds. You can also change the colors of each column. Once you have
finished designing it, Visible TBrowse generates ready-to-compile
optimized Clipper 5.01 source code representing your configuration!
Visible TBrowse also includes numerous context-specific help screens
which serve as an invaluable TBrowse tutorial.
