Web Relational Blocks?

October 17, 2006 | No comment »

Gecenlerde gözüme çarpan bir yazı sayesinde varlığından haberdar olduğum bu şirin ve faideli uygulama, “Web relational blocks” nedir, derseniz, bir kopyala&yapıştır hamlesi ile öğrenelim:

Web Relational Blocks (WebRB) is a browser-based visual editor and run-time environment that enables developers to visually assemble Web applications without adding any imperative code. WebRB is made for developers of “enterprise” Web applications: multi-page applications, containing non-trivial GUI (graphical user interface) and business logic, whose data reside in relational databases.
WebRB increases Web developer productivity in the following ways:

  • The application”s GUI is developed visually (no imperative code) by dragging HTML widgets off a palette. The entire application is assembled in the visual editor.
  • All the application”s components (“blocks”) use the same API and have the same visual representation. Because blocks have a common interface, they are easily combined to produce the desired effect. In contrast with languages such as HTML and PHP, developers use a single API for all parts of the application and assemble the application at a higher level of abstraction.
  • The “code, test, and debug” development cycle is improved because applications are directly executed from the visual editor.
Incremental construction is encouraged because only a small set of blocks is required for starting a working application. Blocks can be added, removed, or rewired at any time, and the application can be immediately validated and re-executed.
