After an extensive inventory of all the possibilities, the die has now been cast. License conditions have been established. The pathway toward the first community edition of QAFE has been outlined. It is planned for release in early 2011. As early as September 2010, there will also be a complete trial version (Enterprise Edition) available for download as well. For details and other launch moments, bookmark www.qafe.com/roadmap!

From Q3 2010 onward, the new drag ’n drop QAML UI Builder extension (take a look here) will be available. The extension is an Eclipse (3.5) plug-in that allows the creation of a web application without hardly any knowledge of Java, HTML or QAML. As long as you can ‘draw’ it with this extension, QAFE does the rest and the app will be directly available in Flex or GWT (or whichever other supporting Web 2.0 environment). As a result, the focus stays where it should be: with the application and its functionality. Enjoy!

The data and the logic remain in the familiar environment, like in stored procedures in your database or even in Cobol. Today, some web applications frameworks, such as Flex and GWT, offer the ability to interact with your backend services. But which of the two would you choose (if it was a choice between those two only)? Here’s our take.

Meanwhile (on a much less exciting note) you might find it interesting to know that we have put some excerpts of the QAFE manual online. Just to give an impression of basic concepts, working with components, events, business-actions, services, resources, transactions, vpd & JNDI configuration, and of course running applications. Please note that the excerpts from QAFE’s User Guide on this website are for demonstration purposes only. If you are a registered QAFE user make sure to use the latest version only: you can request a recent copy anytime.

The definition of Web2.0 goes beyond modern web applications and technologies though. It also refers to web-based communities and social networking sites. Since QAFE is all about Web2.0 we decided to tweak the homepage of this site to make it just a little bit more Web2.0, by featuring our latest tweets. Have a look here. And if you have an account on Twitter, look us up.

Our major concern is how to handle Oracle Form's applications. Do you have any experience in handling this type of conversion?” We recently recieved this question, and a couple of others.
