Ebase Technology has just released a new development platform, one that merges web application development, workflow processing and data integration into a single platform. They call it Ebase Xi Community Edition… and it's FREE.
"It seems to us that software developers are bogged down with a massive choice of languages, development platforms and methodologies," said Dave Rawlins, Commercial Director at Ebase Technology. "A lot of these are technically hard, they're time-consuming to learn and use, and they really don't fit together very well even once you've mastered them. Worse though is that you need a team of expensive experts to hang the whole thing together both during the development and afterwards once you're in production. It can all add up to a potentially crippling cost of ownership with seriously expensive projects and long timescales ... just what the business doesn't want to hear."
The Xi platform hangs its hat on the ease of use. It converts certain complexities, such as CSS, into visual controls that essentially anyone can modify.
Rawlins also stated: "The Xi platform offers software developers a simple way to break free from spiraling cost and complexity but without sacrificing sophistication or control. To get people up to speed quickly we've also made all of our training materials available for free and there's a wealth of supporting materials on the website."
As we said above, the Xi platform is completely free, the only limitation being a maximum of 10 concurrent run-time users. Paid licenses are also available, if you're in to that sort of thing.
