TABTALK -- The New Hypermedia Technology
TABTALK is both a new software technology and a new
software product.
TABTALK the Technology
Use this patented
hypertext
technology in your software applications to give
your users the ability to customize the individual use of their
computer without affecting anyone else. They can link other data to
files that you have developed and build their own enhancements
without knowing any coding or 4GL products. Once the TABTALK
technology is integrated into your applications, you can offer your
users the ability to
expand their environment without changing your code.
TabTalk gives your users .... to create
INSTANT INTEGRATED WORK ENVIRONMENTS -- Without Programming!
TABTALK lets your user:
-
Access x-to-x all programs and files via three keys
-
Review and Re-Use Command and Display History
-
Link new files to existing files
-
Build expert decision trees
-
Link everything to your notes, and your notes to everything!
-- no more "Post It's"
-
Share work and solutions as storable, sharable work
environments.
TABTALK gives your programmer:
A simple, easy way to implement HYPERTEXT tools that help them
become more efficient. TABTALK can leave a trail of "Instant
Links" through the maze of program code that any novice can follow.
Designers are able to see and follow the structure they envisioned in
programs. This approach creates a scaffolding that gives programmers
new to the code a simple means of following logic chains --
the flow of
control through programs and program mock ups -- LONG before the
code is ready for single stepping via debuggers. By using the logical
flow of control and associated design notes, programmers naturally
remember associations via the true structure of the program rather
than by incidental location of code fragments in printouts.
TABTALK's three key hypertext paradigm gives programmers a more
powerful tool than
text string searches or
CTAG based search capabilities.
TABTALK lets you [pull up/access] specific procedures and their
relatives
faster than you can find a single procedure in a printout!
TABTALK's structural access technology encourages programmers
to improve program structure, keep design notes up to date, and clear
problem areas with structural improvements.
TABTALK lets anyone, even administrators,
perform structured walk-throughs of
the code as programming guru Ed Yourdon
suggests.
TABTALK documents/records your developers and programmers structural
thinking.
It will easily cut the time needed for a new programmer to become
familiar with code in half! Think of how that will speed new code
development, ease the support of existing code and simplify the re-
engineering of older code.
The benefits of adding TABTALK are:
-
TABTALK enhanced Word Processor
-
No more endless? re-typing of file names!
-
Make your own menus [of/AND] to-do lists
-
Link documents to other related text files
-
Launch your programs right from your to-do lists
and documents
-
Create instant integrated work environments
-
-
TABTALK enhanced Programming Editor
-
Easy to follow subroutine linkages inside and
outside of current files
-
- Easy linkage to development scaffolding
- Turn design documents into structured development
scaffolding!
- Rapidly build easy to use development scaffolding
from existing design documents and bug lists
- Tie in Developer / Consultant modification notes
-
Creates integrated source/documentation work environments!
-
-
TABTALK the Hypermedia access system
- Fly though video and data frames with three key ease
- True multi-path hypermedia access
-
Create alternative story lines and viewing paths
-
Create easy to use computer based audio-visual training courses
-
Create multi-media hot-linked hyper-knowledge bases
-
It's THE easy way to place access links within video frames!
TABTALK the Product
TABTALK is a complete product for use in your PC to build your
own knowledge base. It gives you all abilities that Power Users
[have had in the past/learned]
without having to learn any programming
languages.
You gain control over all the data in your computer. You can,
with single keystrokes, link together information screens up to 80
levels deep and access any of them.
Need a new file for more data? It creates one. Forget to save the
data on a screen?
It remembers. TABTALK remembers how you
work and presents itself in your language. All of your personal
notes are shown right on the screen.
NASA engineers found TABTALK eliminates the need to learn,
remember, and retype dozens of commands found in thick
computer manuals. TABTALK's three keys let them access and
invoke all routine computer functions and commands. And unlike
mouse and icon based systems, you do not need to know where to
look on the screen. You don't even need to know what a command
looks like!
TABTALK technology gives the first simple access to whatever your
users need without having to know how to use a command line, or any
other program language.
We all know how good power users are to our sales. They give our
products a reputation for being the best. By incorporating TABTALK
into your applications, you enable each of your users to become a
power user. Each of your power users can easily share their expertise
with others. This builds your reference base and your products
reputation.
This is a product that will change your opinion of how quickly you,
your administrator, and your staff can
all become Power
Users.
