Andescotia LLC announces the release of the Marten™ 1.4 Software Development Environment for MacOS X Graphical Programming comes to MacOS X BOZEMAN, Montana - April 16, 2008 Andescotia LLC (http://www.andescotia.com) is proud to announce the next release of the Marten™ graphical software development environment (IDE), version 1.4, the first native graphical programming environment for MacOS X. With the Marten IDE, developers diagram code instead of writing it, placing icons of operations onto a canvas and then linking them together to define the control flow of their software. Other powerful features of the Marten IDE include the ability for users to execute their code while editing it and to create an application executable with a single button push. When developers can run their code as they edit it, they enjoy an entirely new and more productive software development process than the old compile/link/debug steps. They can skip forward or rollback to any point in an executing program with a click of the mouse and change data at any moment. Unexplained build failures and link errors disappear because a running application is created the moment a developer starts a project. In addition, syntax errors are non-existent because developers manipulate the elements of the language directly and the Marten IDE garbage collection eliminates autorelease pools and other memory management concerns. A push of a button turns the project application into a standalone executable. Should users want to create applications with a smaller footprint they can export their code and use GCC to build an executable directly from the Marten environment. In addition, users can create their own editors within the Marten environment for any class object in their code. No need to write plug-ins or dynamic libraries. The Marten IDE ships with application class frameworks along with their respective class object editors to allow developers to quickly layout and create standalone applications. An experimental framework lets users to work with Cocoa and Objective-C routines directly within the Marten environment. Marten also includes several libraries that allows applications to use the MySQL, Postgres, and IOKit APIs among others. Marten 1.4 comes with the editor/interpreter application, documentation, language extension libraries, class application frameworks, and example projects illustrating the use of the development environment. New to this release: Support for MacOS X 10.5. Creates targeted or universal binaries for PPC and/or x86 architectures. Universal binary for Marten IDE runs natively on PPC or x86 architectures. Marten C Tool is included in distribution so users can create new Marten libraries. Updated application frameworks featuring new object editors. A preliminary port of the Prograph CPX ABC/ABE class framework to support migration of Prograph CPX code to Marten. New example projects and documentation. New libraries for MacOS X APIs. Demo application available for download. Pricing and Availability Marten 1.4 is available now for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later versions and can be purchased for the price of $68.00 USD at http://www.andescotia.com.

New documentation available in support area September 12, 2007 A new tutorial entitled "Simplest Text Editor" has been placed in the support area. This tutorial illustrates how to use the basic Marten primitives to create a simple text editor. The reader is shown how create code to navigate to files, select one to open, open the file, read the contents, and close the file. In addition, the tutorial shows how to display the contents of the file in a basic text editor window and how to save any modifications back to the disk. Finally, the tutorial describes how to use the Marten IDE to turn the reader's code into a standalone application in two different ways. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
