Why WaveMaker?

WaveMaker’s Studio and Framework provides a powerful solution for rapidly developing web-based applications.  But there are a lot of development tools out there. Why should I use WaveMaker?

FASTER:  Our studio is much faster than any other choices out there. Drag & drop assembly of widgets and service, code-free integration of web-services, databases and Ajax UI, and one-touch deployment to standard Tomcat servers all work seamlessly together to let you build complete web apps in hours!

Check out the tutorial where you’ll build and deploy a complete application, database web-services and all — in 45 minutes!

EASIER:  You don’t have to be a Guru to build or maintain a WaveMaker application.  You get the power of Dojo, Ajax and Java without the computer science degree from Stanford. Developers of all backgrounds can be instantly productive with WaveMaker. 

But, unlike some of the “simple” tools you’ve seen, you’re not limited in what you can do. At any point, you (or your favorite Guru) can drop into JavaScript, CSS, even Java, to extend your application.

Check out the online video to see how easy it is to build and extend a data-driven application.

COOLER:  It’s true! Just ask my Mom.   WaveMaker is built using the latest open source projects like Spring, Dojo, Hibernate and JSON.  These communities are huge and growing.   The applications you build will be buzzword compliant!  No more boring read-only web-pages or old-fashioned client-side installations. 

Register in our developer community to ask questions and interact with other community members.

SAFER:  Ok, since when has safety been the reason I tried something new?  Is Mom back?  Reality is, sometimes it matters.  WaveMaker’s architecture fits in with your existing infrastructure.  There’s no mysterious “Black Box” that locks you into a single vendor.  All the components in a WaveMaker application will be familiar to the experts on your team.  There’s no foreign XML language to learn, no proprietary extensions to CSS, no plug-ins to deploy on your clients, no required upgrades to the latest OS.

For IT this means no more orphaned or rogue applications to deal with.

For Developers this means technical skills you’re proud to add to your resume, and you won’t have to explain what they are!
