The Videos are up!

Today is a capstone day, marking the completion of a recent video production project that we embarked on.  A few weeks back we had my brother, Tim McLain, up for a 1 day "shooting spree", shooting the raw video for our training videos, introduction and our "Build an app in 10 minutes" video.

He turned them around quite fast, and after wrestling with the bandwidth costs of hosting the videos ourselves, we decided to post them on Google's Video service.  That went quite smoothly, and we got the videos posted to our live website around 1:00PM today.

My favorite video is the "Build an Application in 10 minutes" video and it's one that really captures the basics of what WorkXpress IS, and what it's used for.  I urge any of you who still don't understand "What does WorkXpress do/What is it?"  Please, enjoy this video!

Nice stuff Drew, good mktg stuff, especially the first few vids... ;)

Are you going to blog about scalability in general?
-of a single instance engine, in terms of load
-of the client-site + SaaS ecosystem, in terms of maintenance/upgrade costs (I understand you don't adopt multitenancy)
-of the resulting apps: eg i18n, and how to avoid siloed approaches at deploying if you adopt WXPS in an enterprise environment

Thanks, gr8 stuff, hope to find the time to test it soon

Thanks for the comment Eles!

I plan to do some more blogging this week, so I will take your questions into consideration when choosing my topic :-)

Quickly tho, as far as i18n is concerned, we have a plan in place to add i18n support, at least for left to right written languages, and plan to deploy it in Q3 this year. This estimate is flexible, however, and our development schedule sometimes fluxuates based on customer demand.

We have been preparing to offer i18n support in WorkXpress since we began the last rebuild, almost 2 years ago. We haven't had requests (until now) for it's use, so some key interfaces are yet missing, but most of the backend work is in place.

tx will keep reading

think BIG!

seen so many products/companies crossing the pond and struggling 'cause of lack of i18n, multi currency, multicompany support. Stating the obvious: easier to put it in right from the beginning
