![]() The level of sophistication is above just rapidly developing and app. ![]() The GUI form building, data linking, and aesthetic control are that of a desktop app. The database schema tool is far beyond other third party tools. Every tool imaginable on other open source solutions requiring a plugin or module are already available. If you must use Java, and I suggest you do, Wavemaker is it. Wavemaker includes everything one could need to create robust applications for the browser, iOS and Android by automating the most routine tasks and reducing the need to code Java by more than 80%. The initial cost of open source projects maybe free, but to develop anything of value and enterprise grade is very costly and filled with hurdles. While open source and its many varieties claim to be FREE in cost, and ease of development, as well as ease of usage by end users, after looking at Wavemaker, this is far from the truth. Java and Wavremaker rarely needs so many updates if at all every few years. If you're familiar with WordPress, or Drupal, then you know that coming to point of a projects require a host of third party add-ons creating the dependency and update process that is perpetual. We were able to configure security, users, role, and permissions very thoroughly right out-of-the-box with any additional Java libraries or customizations. Then with a very intuitive GUI were able to construct the various screens with this data and make a very quick but fully functioning prototype with fully aesthetic control, and fully responsive. With wavemaker, we defined our database schema. ![]() With Wavemaker we were using Java but without being stuck in a boilerplate nightmare or manual coding. We realized we wanted to work with Java because of its vast libraries which are mature and time tested. We tried everything and virtually every language including PHP. We went through many RAD (rapid application development) environments which lacked standardization of libraries like jQuery, HTML5, or even multi platform support like iOS, Anddroind and web. We wanted to create a custom application but we had little time and budget. ![]() The primary reason for choosing Wavemaker was we did not need to install anything, or rely on the multitude of dependencies like in WordPress or Drupal plugins and modules. We analyuzed WordPress, Drupal, and many others which worked with AWS, CloudFront. Our case use was creating a video sharing service. Anything from database schema tools, front end, back end, security all require a tremendous amount of time and effort. When you're looking for website, or software development, you come across a patchwork of tools which are haphazardly used to create a workflow. This platform is most hidden from anywhere in Google search. My favorite version was the 6.7.0 RELEASE, even if having some bugs, the desktop version was something great! I really loved the desktop version, and I'm missing that they no longer support it. Something I really like is that WaveMaker is like a combination of code generator for the tedious and cumbersome parts, while you still have full control of everything and can change it as required. It uses the MVC arquitecture, on both frontend and backend, and there's a clear separation between this last two. As it uses the latest technologies and frameworks your app will be up to date for a long term. WaveMaker is a great studio to develop web-based applications for Java Developers. It really speeds up the development and reduce the time which would take in average. When having a project of software development for a web-based app, even if short of time or no, WaveMaker is a great choice as will allow you to spend less time on ordinary tasks and let your developers team concentrate more on the business logic and the functionality of the app.
