Three New Products from the Bindows Folks - InfoWorld Review0
Ran posted in Beta Programs, Bindows Gauges, Bindows in the News, BindowsFaces, Developing in Bindows, In the press, JavaScript on December 1st, 2007

Read the excellent review in InfoWorld by Martin Heller (Strategic Developer).
InfoWorld Review.

The review covers our release of three new products: Bindows gauges library toolkit, BindowsFaces, and the Bindows 4.0 Beta.

Regarding Bindows FREE gauges library toolkit - InfoWorld appreciates the facts that the toolkit is completely free, and comes with a gauge wizard and a free subset of the Bindows Ajax library. The gauges are done with vector graphics and are fast enough to be used for soft real-time displays. Try it out online yourself.

The BindowsFaces library, as you might guess from the name, brings Bindows-based Ajax capabilities to Java through JSF. It’s for Java Faces programmers who’d prefer not to get their hands dirty with JavaScript or go through a compilation step. Martin quotes us “BindowsFaces is better than GWT or Oracle ADF.” Obviously, we are biased

Moving on to Bindows 4.0 beta “probably makes Bindows the most advanced professional Ajax framework in the market,” according to the Meriazes. One of primary design goal of Bindows 4.0 is to add the “ability to define a fully working application without writing a single line of JavaScript.” To join the 4.0 beta program, contact sales@bindows.net.

Thanks Martin for a great review!

MB Technologies’ InfiView(TM) - 1st Ajax Development Platform for Graphical Web Applications0
Ran posted in Beta Programs, InfiView, JavaScript on March 21st, 2007

AJAXWORLD, New York, NY March 21, 2007 — MB Technologies(TM) announced today the release of InfiView, the first development platform for creating interactive and dynamic graphical Ajax applications. InfiView advances the move toward web-based software by enabling developers to build infinite-sized Web 2.0 mind maps, network topologies, organization charts, LDAP tools and technical diagrams.

InfiView uses Ajax technology and its own unique dynamic memory management to enable developers to systematically create graphical web applications using any amount of data (from very small all the way to infinite). With InfiView-built web-applications, end-users seamlessly interact (pan, zoom, right-click for actions…) with all types of graphical data - such as network topologies, DNA sequences or genealogy charts - oblivious to the vast amounts of data available.

“People need to see data in the form of charts and diagrams in order to understand it,” said Yoram Meriaz, CEO at MB Technologies. “Up until now, there has not been a systematic solution for zero footprint diagramming. MB Technologies solved this problem by identifying shared mathematical characteristics behind each of these elements. InfiView is the framework that we built on top of this foundation to enable developers to expedite time to market with infinitely scalable graphical applications.”
