Hi All,
I was a happy interAkt customer and quite frankly have been un-impressed
with Adode's ADDT.
I was thinking of trying WebAssist's offering and was looking for some
comments or experiences others may have had with this product.

Thanks.

Chris

WebAssist and InterAKT took very different approaches to their coding
methods.

InterAKT used a transaction-driven process which I personally found to be
completely opaque. If you like to jump into your code and rummage around,
you may have the same experience if you are a fair to intermediate
programmer. WA's code is much more explicable (to me at least) and is much
easier for me to modify.

I believe that you will have to have some coding experience or skill to
effectively use either, though.

Hi Murray,
Thanks. I do have a good bit of PHP experience. I have used the
InterAkt products for quite a while and am happy with them. I was more
than a bit disappointed when Adobe dropped the Calendar product which
was a great time saver for me.

I will take a closer look at WebAssist.

Thanks.

Chris,

You'd be fine with WebAssist since you have some PHP background. I use both
WebAssist and ADDT extensions and find that they do have some overlap, but for
the most part they serve different purposes. WebAssist takes a "no
hand-coding" approach, and their extensions are for-the-most-part wizard
driven. You may need to get into the code once in awhile, but it's not
difficult and I've found their support is good. If you have any product
questions, look up Mark Haynes - he's a big .

If you can catch one of WebAssist's sales (their
http://www.webassist.com/professiona....asp?WAAID=649 is
going now until June 27) you can get their extensions at a good discount.
