Dear Wizcode fans,

As you have probably already guessed we at Wizcode have been quite busy during the last few months. It is time to reveal our secret project. Our new framework of code is finally out! Meet Wizcode's Evolution framework and prepare for our new product line.

As developers we always tend to write code that is robust and easy to maintain, contains fewer bugs and can be easily upgraded with new features without being written from scratch. During the last 5 years we've written lot's of code. Although our code was very good (and when I'm telling you that you should know that I've seen lot's of code) we knew we could make some classes better or redesign some of our components to make them more modular. So about a year ago we started major work on a huge internal project called "Evolution" that was about to lay the foundation of all our future products.

We postponed major releases of products like Pocket Mechanic Professional, Pocket Hack Master and Virtual Explorer and gave priority to "Evolution". With "Evolution" we can now make things that would have taken us weeks of development before. Our updated product line will be based on the new framework.

Now let me give you a short overview of Wizcode's "Evolution" framework.

Greetings,

The long awaited update of Virtual Explorer is to be released in the next few days.

Virtual Explorer has not been updated since almost twelve months. The main reason for that was the complexity of the project - as soon as we released the first version we realized we need to dramatically change the architecture of the application in order to support all the new features we wanted to include like FTP support, document previews, thumbnails, built-in editors etc.

The development team started work on Virtual Explorer 2 a few months ago. We expect to start early alpha testing in Q2 2008. In the meanwhile we took some of the code written for Virtual Explorer 2 and used it to improve the first Virtual Explorer. I hope you will find the new version 1.20 much more stable and will enjoy the little improvements that we have added.
