on PRODUCT REVIEWS 11/22/01 - Today's focus: Test Pilot on Netobjects Fusion MX Dear Wincenty Kaminski, In this issue: * Reader says Netobjects Fusion MX is a cost-effective Web development tool * Links related to Network World product reviews * Featured reader resource ____________________________________________________________ TAKE IT OFF-LINE The high-tech industry has always run at breakneck pace. Even a wheezing economy will hardly slow it. In the past year, business theory surrounding technology has been reinvented and redefined multiple times. Check out the latest "must-read" books for technology-related business theories. http://nww1.com/go/ad204.html ____________________________________________________________ Today's focus: Test Pilot on Netobjects Fusion MX By Neal Weinberg Our ace Test Pilot BadBoo is at it again. Here's his evaluation of Netobjects Fusion MX by Netobjects. He says he has been using Netobjects Fusion 4 for a couple of years to design several Web sites, but wanted something that would allow him to easily customize his sites and make them look different. Positive comments: * He is pleased with the support of the Netobjects community, and the API that allows third-party vendors such as Coolmaps, Bimotion and others to write add-on components that essentially double the capability of the base program. * The ease of conquering the learning curve merely by following the accompanying tutorial or downloading tutorials online from the company site or various support sites, such as http://www.gotfusion.com * Extraordinary control of object placement. * Component availability. * Price ($49 for upgrade, $99 for full version). Shortcomings: * The 'import doc' file (a Word Document) failed while following the manual, and was confirmed by one of the support team. * There is no easy way to import an existing Web site off the Internet. You can't select 'import existing Web site' and make it immediately useable. One final comment: "I think you'll find MX is the most cost- effective, rapid Web development tool available," he says.
