NEW! IntelliJ® IDEA™ 3.0 Refactoring Demos

The folks at JetBrains, Inc. had a unique communications problem. They had built refactoring capability into their IDE product for Java™... something every Java developer needs. Trying to explain the features resulted in reams of tedious text... they knew that was no good. Yet they knew from experience at trade shows that every Java jockey who saw refactoring work understood its value immediately and said "Wow!" The solution? Capture that demo experience and put it on the Web in the form of demo/tutorials for the most commonly-needed refactorings.

Together® ControlCenter™ 6.0 Media Kit CD Autorun Demo

The situation that led to the creation of this demo was one of those you can run into in a fast-paced environment where R&D and Marketing are on two different continents. Unbeknownst to us in R&D, the CD-ROM provided to media reviewers merely launched an HTML file with some doc on product and license installation, and an unlinked listing of the documentation files provided. Reviewers had to figure out which installation archive they needed and where it was on the CD, figure out where to install a license file in an unfamiliar installaion, and manually locate the doc folders. Needless to say, we got bashed for this in print!

This was a trivial programming problem, but we didn't have development resources planned for it. In a couple of weekends, using PhotoShop, Delphi, and ViewletBuilder, I programmed the auto-run application and created this demo to explain it to the marketing team.
