Aries, a rich web application framework

Filed under: Computer Science,personal — Vale @ 7:58 pm

logoariesAries is another framework to develop rich web applications. It is developed by Seresco, the company where I work. It is a very good framework to develop management enterprise applications because it was designed and made thinking about productivity in the develop phase. An Aries developer can develop client search and management screens with all functionality in about 15-20 minutes. Sometimes it looks like magic, things simply works and we don’t know exactly why.

But behind the scenes there are a 4-5 people team thinking and working to make things once. Magic does not exists. Everything have code lines and everything have a convention, too. You can change the default performance of almost everything in Aries, but obviously you have to program it.

Captura BusquedaAn Aries application is like a desktop application inside of your navigator. You have buttons, text fields, data grids, and a bunch of advanced components which are updated with Ajax technology making a good effect because page is never refreshed. It has little limitations compared to desktop applications, so there are some.

Aries is free software licensed with the Mozilla Public License. Binary files, sources and documentation are available in its web page. There is also a demo application to let you see the appearence of an Aries application. Use it at your own risk! 🙂
