Until today, web developers creating SaaS apps have been faced with an ugly choice: use proprietary development platforms like Force.com or build an open solution from scratch.
WaveMaker released the first open cloud development platform. WaveMaker 6.0 is a visual development platform that runs in a browser.
WaveMaker makes it ridiculously easy for anyone to prototype, develop and customize great looking web applications.
How easy you ask? Well, how 'bout:
- 15 second WaveMaker hello world test drive
- 7 minute WaveMaker multi-tenant SaaS screencast
- Free open source download of WaveMaker at www.wavemaker.com/downloads
- WaveMaker cloud edition at cloud.wavemaker.com
With all this open and cloudy goodness, it is not surprising that the momentum behind WaveMaker continues to build.
What kind of momentum? Well, how 'bout:
- WaveMaker's open source community now numbers more than 15,000 active developers
- The Cloud Quick Start Partnership teams WaveMaker with IBM, Amazon and RightScale
- Citrix makes WaveMaker available as an integrated development platform for NetScaler
Let the fireworks begin!
