Quicker, Easier Web Development with Industry-leading Visual Studio
San Francisco (PRWEB) May 14, 2009 -- WaveMaker™, the leading visual development platform for web applications, today announced simplified pricing and licensing for the just-announced version 5.0 of its WaveMaker development platform. Now web developers can get started with WaveMaker Enterprise Edition for only $500 including a full year of software updates.
WaveMaker also announced that it has adopted the Apache license for deployment of projects built with the WaveMaker Community Edition, simplifying licensing for the more than 10,000 members of WaveMaker's open source community.
WaveMaker 5.0 features "Enterprise-Ready Data Widgets" that automate all the work needed to connect visual web components to enterprise data. Enterprise-ready data widgets eliminate the need for hand coding to build applications, reducing development time by up to 90%.
"WaveMaker's open source model has helped us grow our community dramatically, to over 10,000 members," said Chris Keene, CEO of WaveMaker. "By pricing at less than half the cost of competitors like Microsoft Visual Studio and Adobe Flex, WaveMaker is delivering more value at a lower cost and providing a clear path for community members to become customers."
