Jargon Writer is a powerful
visual development tool that
allows you to easily and quickly
create smart client business
applications. It is the only
development system that uses a
two-layer XML-based client
architecture to separate the
high-level "rules and definition"
logic from the presentation layer
of 3GL languages.
Jargon Writer features an
easy-to-use point-and-click
WYSIWYG visual design environment
to construct the application user
interface and specify user events
to be handled. Client procedures
are written in a high-level
scripting language (JavaScript),
aided by a variety of
script-building tools to minimize
typing.
- Stores client applications
as XML documents that contain
all GUI component definitions
and script functions in an
industry-standard format for
ease of development and
deployment.
- Provides many visual
components such as windows,
buttons, checkboxes, menus,
images, labels, text fields,
combo boxes, and others.
- Links GUI events to script
functions that execute client
or host procedures.
- Provides simple HTTP-based
exchange of data and commands
with host systems.
Layout Editor
Features
- Jargon Writer's WYSIWYG
layout editor and property
sheets simplify GUI
construction.
- Apps can be tested from
within Jargon Writer as you go,
to see how they look and
behave. You can run apps in
either a PDA Emulator or a full
Windows screen.
- Platform-independent
components allow deployment to
multiple device types.
Script Editor
Features
- No need to struggle with
Java, C++, C#, VB.Net or other
low-level 3GL languages.
- Easily insert common script
statements such as "if-else",
"switch", "do while", etc.
- Fully featured search and
replace capability.
- Method wizard allows
finding and inserting methods
for all components and global
objects.
- Automatic generation of
shell host procedures for all
host requests defined in client
script functions.
Benefits
- Create
platform-independent,
smart-client applications that
are robust, elegant and
efficient.
- Avoid costly software
distribution, installation and
upgrade expenses.
- Deploy applications on both
wireless and wired handheld
devices and PCs.
- Run high performance mobile
applications at dial-up speeds
on the Internet.
- Leverage XML structure to
keep your application on a
clean upgrade path to emerging
technologies.
- Write business logic using
the language of your existing
back-office applications.
You will never outgrow the
Jargon Software development
environment as your business
logic becomes more complex or
your back-office environment
changes.
