In regards to the additional products, we have a skin installed and we have a product that we had custom developed for us that connects to a PostgreSQL database. We've looked at slow PostgreSQL queries causing problems and have not been able to find an issue. We've also tested for the case where the PostgreSQL server is down and have not been able to create an issue. We therefor...
Visual WebGui announced the availability of their enhanced
browser-based solution.
The company, whose solution has reduced enterprise
application development times at companies like SAP, Network D, and others by
more than 80%, also announces that Visual WebGui, which is seamlessly
integrated into Microsoft's Visual Studio and .NET framework, will soon launch a
Microsoft Silverlight compliant solution supported by Microsoft.
Since the company's soft launch in mid 2007, there have been
150,000 downloads of Visual WebGui's browser-based solution with more than
20,000 applications developed using the company's technology.
AJAX
is a combination of Javascript and XML technologies that allow the content of a
web page to be updated without reloading the entire page. This enables
browser-based applications to behave like software applications. Though AJAX provides a rich and full application experience for
users, AJAX's
penetration into the enterprise market has been hampered due to time-consuming
development complexities and security concerns. Specifically, developers have
had difficulty developing complex enterprise applications that offer standard
browser accessibility, uniform performance, offline operability and a quick
migration of legacy applications to web, and are challenged by a potential
client-side lack of "industrial strength" and security breaches.
Visual WebGui solves the development setbacks associated
with AJAX by
providing developers with a Rapid Application Development solution with full
Win Forms support. Visual WebGui's provides their Software Developer's Kit
(SDK) free as open-sourced software. The company also provides complete support
and utilization of all .NET capabilities.
Visual WebGui solves the security issues known in
AJAX-developed enterprise applications by eliminating client side service
consumption and business logic processing using the empty client concept.
Microsoft Silverlight product manager Barak Cohen wrote the
following about Visual WebGui on his blog "[Visual WebGui has] developed
an application UI framework that bridges veteran practices of building
enterprise applications (using WinForms) with web 2.0 style application
delivery (AJAX style). The idea behind their solution is that the WinForm application
style can be sub-classed to have a class that separates the UI implementation
(and optimizes the communication between the UI and the application logic) from
the UI logic. The result is a modern Web 2.0 style application that was
developed with the Windows Forms UI paradigm."
"The next generation of this technology will be using
Silverlight to achieve a more powerful UI for this new type of rich interactive
applications," added Cohen.
For SAP, Visual WebGui enabled their Netweaver UI Cross
Development team to deliver a complex, data intensive web application in 22.5
man months instead of the estimated 216 man months, a savings of nearly 90%.
"Developers across SAP Labs teams have since considered using Visual
WebGui for their projects after seeing the outcome of our project," said
Asaf Saar, Team Leader of SAP Labs Netweaver UI Cross Development team.
Visual WebGui was founded in 2007 and has secured US$1.75
million in funding to date from Maayan Ventures, a leading early stage
investment group and technology incubator, and private investors.
"With an unprecedented 150,000 downloads and more than
20,000 applications developed with our browser-based AJAX enterprise
application development platform and support from industry leaders like
Microsoft, SAP, NetworkD and more, Visual WebGui is becoming the de facto
enterprise development application platform for enterprise 2.0," said
Prof. Arie Scope, active chairman of Visual WebGui and former Microsoft Israel
General Manager & Chairman.
"Though Visual WebGui browser-based solution is and
will remain a free, open-source platform, the company will generate revenue
from development partnerships, premium enterprise dedicated controls and
components, Silverlight extensions, enhanced scalability, plug-in support,
customized development and a market place that will be a third party's (Visual
WebGui's community developers) channel for their propriety development and
other future added-value products and services," said Mr. Navot Peled,
CEO, Visual WebGui. "We will announce the commercial version of Visual
WebGui in April 2008."
