Benefits - Why use JDesignerPro?
Until recently, the Intranet did not exist. Now it is the top focus of over 75% of corporate IT departments. This is because business processes and information dissemination are far easier than under older network systems. JDesignerPro is the tool to maximize business application development and deployment on your Intranet.
Use the power and ease of this new network to its maximum benefit. You should think differently about the costs and time requirements to complete a project. Old ways of building and deploying applications, with tools like PowerBuilderTM and Visual BasicTM, or a language like C++ are no longer the best methods. With the Intranet and Java applications, like those built with JDesignerPro, application deployment is instant.
Here is a list of direct benefits gained by using JDesignerPro.
- 100% cross-platform, Java client and server application development in an easy, visual environment.
- A JDesignerPro interface allows instant access from anywhere in the world. Because Java applications load dynamically over the network, there is no desktop client software to ship, install or upgrade.
- JDesignerPro applications are object oriented and parameter driven, making interfaces very flexible. Each user can be served a different set of application interfaces, depending on who they are and their level of access authorization - the maintenance system for which is included in JDesignerPro.
- These applications are client-platform independent, supporting Windows 95, NT, Macintosh, OS/2 Warp, UNIX simultaneously.
- JDesignerPro gives you these benefits with little or no Java programming on your part. But it also gives you access to the code down to the method level for your own additions if desired.
- You will spend much less time building applications. Deployment of the application is instant, as are upgrades, because the applications load automatically over the network when a user goes to the designated Web page.
- Group development support with remote development. JDesignerPros Application Builder handles any number of developers with central management of project files.
There are numerous benefits gained by using JDesignerPro that are not obvious, but are critical. One is the dynamic placement of vertical and horizontal scroll bars, when necessary, if the screen is stretched at run time. Another is the ability to tab between fields on a form. Both tabbing forward through fields and Shift-tabbing to go backwards are automatically built-in to your finished screens. One large advantage is that when you make a change to the GUI layout JDesignerPro will modify all the code necessary for you including Interactions. Again, this is not done by tools like Cafe. There are myriad other similar small but important differences youll notice as you learn this system.
