Former ActiveGrid Makes Waves With App Studio


Framework update launched with new name and new Web development suite

By Alex Handy
December 15, 2007 — 
In an effort to shift the tides of fortune, ActiveGrid announced on Nov. 28 that it would be changing its name to WaveMaker. The company unveiled version 3.0 of its newly renamed WaveMaker Rapid Deployment Framework the same day, joined by a new product, WaveMaker Visual Assembly Studio 3.0.

The company’s flagship deployment framework has been refreshed from version 2.5 with the addition of hooks for existing identity management systems and a new path to deployment that runs through the Visual Assembly Studio.

That studio is a Web-based AJAX and Web development suite billed as “PowerBuilder for the Web.” Developers can put together applications from existing code snippets included with it. The Visual Assembly Studio is based on software that the former ActiveGrid acquired when it purchased TurboAjax Group in September.

“Developers want easy-to-use, data-driven, visual tools that can build scalable Web applications that meet CIO requirements,” said Christopher Keene, CEO of WaveMaker, in a statement announcing the products. “We created WaveMaker’s new flagship product line to simplify the development process, accelerate assembly and deployment time, and dramatically improve business productivity—all directly impacting an enterprise’s bottom line.”

The Visual Assembly Studio is now the preferred method for preparing applications for deployment across grids, claimed Rick Saletta, WaveMaker’s director of marketing and product management. Studio also includes close integrations with and support for the Dojo AJAX framework.

Both WaveMaker Visual Assembly Studio 3.0 and the WaveMaker Rapid Deployment Framework 3.0 are slated to become available on Dec. 14. The studio is available as a free download, and a beta version is currently available at www.wavemaker.com. Full installations of the WaveMaker Rapid Deployment Framework start at around US$25,000.
