Scout: Tablet PC Basecamp

Posted by Brian Eng Wed, 31 May 2006 03:08:00 GMT

We love Basecamp. Despite the fact it's from Microsoft (snicker), we think the Tablet PC is pretty sweet too. One fateful day, Jeff and I were coding away at our day jobs (where, not coincidentally, we develop Tablet PC apps)...

"You got your Basecamp in my Tablet PC!"

"You got your Tablet PC in my Basecamp!"

And Scout was born.

Words are boring. Watch it (screencast, 4 minutes) instead.

We're just putting the finishing touches on it. It'll be available for download here soon - and in addition, we'll be making our Basecamp API wrapper for .NET 2.0 available too.

    Holy crap.

    That is awesome.

    Would it work for Mac OS X users using a Wacom tablet?

  2. Brian Eng said 8 days later:

    @Andrew: I knew someone would ask! We've tested it on a couple of Tablet PCs, as well as on our Windows machines with Wacom tablets and the Tablet PC SDK installed. It may work w/ Boot Camp or Parallels on an Intel Mac with the same setup, but I'm honestly not sure. I'll let you know when I get the opportunity to test it out.

    Hey Guys,

    I didn't get the chance to look at this today, but I'll definitely be playing with it in the near future! It looks awesome.

    Considering I have a Tablet, and use Basecamp, this should mesh nicely with managing some projects. :)

    Very cool stuff. Love that Windows developers are actually trying to bridge the gap with RoR, which is a excellent platform. I am myself trying to learn from the RoR programming paradigm. Keep up the good work...

    Am I correct in assuming that this only works when the helper is called directly from the template, as opposed to being abstracted away by some custom defined helper?

  23. Anal Sex said 295 days later:

    It’s actually functionally very similar to Ruby blocks, but with an applied assignment (to whatever the function name is). I wonder if Cheetah can do this, or should do this?
