Andescotia LLC announces the release of
Marten™ 1.6.4 with support for Objective-C and Cocoa application development. Graphical Programming comes to MacOS X BOZEMAN, Montana - April 12, 2015 We would like to announce that the latest release of Marten, version 1.6.4 is available for download. Marten 1.6.4 contains beta support for the C source code export of methods containing Objective C code. It also contains bug fixes and other improvements, as well as more tutorial videos available on the web site. This version is essentially a beta version for forthcoming Objective C functionality The new functionality supports calling Objective C instance methods with a backslash prefix in analogy to calling Prograph class methods in a data-driven manner using a forward slash prefix. This will allow the next version of the Marten IDE to export sections as C source code files in the "inline" format.

Bug fix for the Marten editor that eliminates a crash that might occur when moving up the stack after deleting an executing case. New code in the Marten Sections folder that includes the first editors for the MC application framework for Cocoa development. The IDE and examples have been built and tested on Mac OS X 10.8.5. We are also happy to announce our first ever tutorial videos are now available on the Andescotia website. While still a bit unpolished, these videos hope to ease the introduction into the Prograph language and the Marten IDE. They currently cover the installation process, a quick tour of the Prograph language and the Marten IDE, examples of "interactive" development where you write your code as you are executing it, and some explanations of Prograph object and Cocoa memory management. We hope they help. About Andescotia Andescotia LLC is a privately held company formed in 2003 and founded with the goal of creating innovative development tools and productivity software.

Andescotia LLC announces the FREE release of the Marten™ 1.4.6 Software Development Environment for MacOS X Graphical Programming comes to MacOS X and is available as a free download BOZEMAN, Montana - October 31, 2011 Andescotia LLC (http://www.andescotia.com) is proud to announce the next release of the Marten™ graphical software development environment (IDE), version 1.4.6, 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 1.4.6 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: Available for free. Users need merely register their e-mail address. Support for MacOS X 10.6 and 10.7. 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. Pricing and Availability Marten 1.4.6 is available now for Mac OS X 10.6 or later versions and is free for use at http://www.andescotia.com.

| Jack Small BOZEMAN, Montana - May 1, 2011 It is with the utmost sadness and deepest regret that I have to report that Jack Small passed away towards the end of March. For those of you who don't know who Jack Small is, I ask that you launch your copy of Marten, open up the "About Marten" window and note that Jack's name leads all the rest. Jack is the reason Marten exists and his passion for the Prograph language is what drove the project on. For those of us who knew Jack, we know that the term "Prographer" was seemingly invented just to describe him. Please stop for a moment and kindly remember a unique and special man who literally gave his all to see Prograph survive as a living language. I encourage everyone to click on the link to the left and read Patrick Brinton's moving obituary for Jack. Thank you.
