Visual Ajax Tool Breaks Top 10 Downloads At Apple

By Chris Keene at August 21, 2008 2 Comments
WaveMaker Visual Ajax Top 10 Apple DownloadWaveMaker was selected as a Staff Pick for the Apple download site, and broke into the top 10 Apple downloads today, weighing in at number 7 and edging out Google Earth!
WaveMaker 4 features a Mac installer and the WaveMaker Ajax Studio runs best in the Safari browser (of course, to be fair, almost everything that runs in a browser runs best in Safari).
WaveMaker’s visual studio lowers the learning curve for building Ajax apps and greatly increases productivity over traditional hand-coded Javascript web clients.
Because it is browser-based, it can also be hosted in a cloud computing environment - providing an open source IDE for SaaS companies.
WaveMaker uses a Model-View-Controller approach to building Ajax web applications, making it a good fit for developers who are familiar with Apple’s xCode development tools (or any other visual development tool for that matter).
WaveMaker was also written up on the MacNN web site as a one stop shop for developing web applications. MacNN also particularly taken by how WaveMaker democratizes the development of web applications:

The folks at WaveMaker think big, calling their Visual Ajax Studio 4.0 web app development tool “a fundamental breakthrough” — and they may just be right. In a demonstration for MacNN it took about three minutes to build a simple database web app — something that traditionally takes a team of developers to manage the complex weaving of web and server functions. This could be especially good news for the growing number of Mac Developers, since WaveMaker is browser-based.

@shaks - I can’t figure this one out - Safari runs faster on Windows than IE and Firefox on Windows!

Firefox had plenty of time to meet Safari’s performance with their 3.0 release - seems like they jumped the shark on this one. Oh, well, there’s always 4.0
