{:> Quickworx

If you are a web developer, especially if you have Ruby on Rails or graphical design skills, I would love to have your help with the web application I am developing to replace QuickFrame. This new application is tentatively being called StudyWorx since it is designed to do much more than simply create blank chart frames. It is designed to be a complete study environment where a student can fully complete their inductive studies online, including grading and communication with teaching staff. Essentially it is a framework for running online inductive Bible schools.

In the world of never ending spam email providers are getting more and more aggressive in filtering spam. In the past when people were not receiving their QuickFrame password emails all they had to do was look in their junk mail folder. However, I am now getting many reports that these emails are not only getting filtered but in many cases being destroyed before anyone can look at them.

Due to numerous problems with the last version of the QuickFrame stand alone server for MAC. I have reworked it on a new foundation. I have replaced the xampp server package with a new server package called MAMP. I have not been able to extensively test it yet but all my initial tests seem to indicate that this package will solve the problems with the previous one.

In the course of providing QuickFrame for schools around he world one problem has cropped up repeatedly. Unreliable or expensive access to the Internet.

I have come up with basically 2 alternatives for those that are faced with this problem.

Because of the difficulty and expense of reliable Internet connections in some places I have added a stand alone version of QuickFrame for the MAC. The QuickFrame StandAlone server will allow you to use QuickFrame on your Mac computer without an Internet connection. Now whether you use a mac or a PC you can use QuickFrame with or without the Internet.

You can be using it in 6 easy steps:

A brand new version of QuickFrame Stand-Alone Server is out. It includes all the new features incorporated in the latest online version. I have included a few instructions below to help you get started.

Work on adding the auto-population references needed for the ESV version of the Bible is done thanks to the hard work of a bunch of our 2006-2007 alumni. The ability to use more than one version, a new color scheme, and the ability to auto-populate the ESV have now all been added to the current version of Virtual-QuickFrame. It is available for free download from the Downloads page.
