We are proud to announce the release of Elevate Web Builder 2.
Elevate Web Builder is a visual rapid application development environment for web applications. It is simple and easy to create beautiful web applications by simply dragging and dropping components on to forms, and then changing their appearance and behaviors as desired.
There is absolutely no need to learn JavaScript in order to use Elevate Web Builder. The product uses a compiler to compile Object Pascal source code into JavaScript, emitting all necessary HTML and JavaScript. In addition, the compiler can automatically compress and obfuscate the emitted JavaScript to make your web applications small and virtually unreadable by another developer. You can then quickly and easily deploy your application to the destination of your choosing.
The Elevate Web Builder Web Server is included with the product. The web server can load web server modules (.dlls) created using Delphi. Any existing non-visual Delphi desktop application code can be used in the web server modules. Database adapter components are also provided for exposing custom data sources as Elevate Web Builder datasets. The use of the included web server is optional, and you can use any web server of your choosing. It's main benefit is that it can automatically serve up pre-configured datasets to client-side Elevate Web Builder applications.

Ok, so I did some digging. The link doesn't actually tell you anything about the software at all. Halfway down the page, though, is a link that does - it takes you to this page: http://www.elevatesoft.com/products?category=ewb&type=web And halfway down that page is an explanation of what the product is.
ReplyDeleteCrikey. It's not easy to get info here. Tim Young
It appears by my reading to be a web application creation tool, that combines HTML layout design (?) with an Object Pascal-based language, which compiles to Javascript. I'm not clear if this is client-side only, or can only be used for a server via (eg) Node.js or both, or maybe it compiles to a native EXE web server from some stuff it says...? Not sure if that's Windows only, or Linux too.
So, a competitor to DWS?
Elevate Web Builder is a wysiwyg web builder that uses object pascal syntacs and converts to javascript. It is for developing a client side web app, but also comes with a server module for Delphi to create a web server. It is basically Delphi for the web and is a excellent tool for any Delphi developer wanting to use their pascal experience on the web. Similar to Smart Mobile studio.
ReplyDeleteI've updated the description. If you have any additional questions, please feel free ask. I'll be posting a link to an introductory video by tomorrow, and it will show you how you create an application in the IDE.
