Having an application that looks good is more important than most people think. Not only is a good looking application easier to sell but it also increases user acceptance. Servoy offers all the ingredients necessary to create applications that both look and work great. Web 2.0 Features Built-In AJAX, Cloud computing, Data Broadcasting, iPhone and Google Phone - you can have it all - automatically. Servoy provides toolset for you to create Sexy applications and at the same time it does not limit you in it's capabilities. AJAX, done the right way Many environments today offer AJAX functionality that increases the interactivity of web sites that do away with the so-called "single page paradigm." However, most AJAX frameworks are client-side implementations which are plagued with a few big problems: security issues, performance issues and development and debugging issues. Servoy has a very lightweight client-side framework that only does event processing and UI updating - all other code execution and business logic is run on the server side. This guarantees security, provides much better performance and last but not least, makes it much easier to code and debug. In fact, you can debug your browser-based applications directly within Servoy Developer. Simply set a break point, click around in your browser application and Servoy will automatically "pop" the Eclipse-based IDE forward when the breakpoint it hit. Now that's Sexy! Data Broadcasting To ensure everybody using your Servoy solution is "on the same page", Servoy includes built-in data broadcasting. Data broadcasting allows all connected users to always see the most recent version of the data on their screen without having to press a "refresh" button. The Servoy Application Server keeps track of who is looking at what data and automatically broadcasts changes to the required users if the data they are looking at has been changed. Data broadcasting allows Servoy to intelligently broadcast changes with very little network overhead and extremely fast performance. This feature will even work on the web using AJAX to push the changes to the user - all with zero code on your part. Modern Look and Feel Servoy makes it seamless to build applications with a modern look and feel. The GUI designer in Servoy is easy to use, will adapt automatically to the native look and feel of the user's operating system and enables you to design a modern user interfaces right down to the pixel level. |
