Very cool … ScriptBasic for Linux …
I have always believed that BASIC is the language for the rest of the people. I learned it at a young age, and still use Microsoft’s Visual Basic to develop quick apps and prototypes … it is a very powerful scripting language … and complies well also. One of the Linux resources that I have wanted for a while is a good BASIC for Linux. If I were able to combine this with Glade … then I’d really be happy!

Putting WYSIWYG into your web page …
There were a whole string of very useful HTML editing tools that were presented this day … and this is a very good article showing some cool stuff that can be done for editing and rendering HTML in a web page editor … check it out.
Need to add a WYSIWYG HTML editor to your Web-page? Try this “InsideDHTML” article out. Or use this product from Ektron. Or this Java applet from RealObjects. [scobleizer]
Way cool … an “XML Cooktop” for FREE!
This was a really good post that I found which points to a powerful tool for XML hackers. Our DirXML technology uses a variety of XML and XSLT related technologies, and this appears to be a really cool tool for editing these files. And as he says … best of all it’s free!
Are you building XML-centric sites? Check out the XML Cooktop which is a development environment for writing and testing XSLT style sheets, XML documents, DTDs, and XPATHs. Best of all it’s free! [scobleizer]
Very cool interactive web page color picker …
This was a very cool site and can be really valuable in creating color schemes for web pages and style sheets.
I’ve learned more this week about different color sites than I ever wanted to know. Here’s another cool site that lets you play interactively with color layouts to find just that right combination. [scobleizer]
Very cool little Flash Design site …
I found this cool Flash site, ScreamDesign, through a Utah Business magazine. They have created a very cool browser based service called FlashBlaster to create and edit Flash animations and files. It’s a very cool idea, and I have created my first Flash animation for my web site!
All of the design and editing is done through the web, and you then download the finished product. I used one of the three ‘free’ templates, but they have a large number of additional templates. You can edit, experiment, and create all you want for free … and only have to pay when you go to download the finished product. I think it’s a very cool concept … creating a new market for artists to submit templates, and a simple interface for web designers to get Flash creations …
