ThinWire

Features

Edit

• Familiar event-driven GUI programming model
• Reconnects the flow of logic, no request / response
• Maintains state naturally via variables, not via session
• Develop exclusively in a server-side language only
• Rich set of complex widget components: GridBox, DropDownGridBox, Tree, TabFolder, Menu, Real-Time Edit Masking, etc.
• Full keyboard navigation supported by all components!
• Zero footprint client, no applets, activeX controls or browser plug-ins of any kind!
• ThinWire is fast! The entire client-side part of the framework downloads once (just over 100K) and no further HTML, CSS or JS files are downloaded after that. The same client-side framework is used no matter how complex the application is that you build!
• Highly secure because no application logic executes in the browser and no service end-points are used like with other Ajax approaches. Only data you make visible through a component is sent over the wire, everything else stays on the server.
• All major browsers supported: Firefox 1 or greater, Opera 8 or greater, Safari 2 or greater, IE6 or greater

• ThinWire
  ThinWire is a development framework that allows you to easily build applications for the web that look and feel like the desktop applications you're familiar with. ThinWire focuses exclusively on a server-side programming approach, rather than the blended client-side & server-side approach taken by many frameworks. A benefit of this approach is that your code base is typically written entirely in a single language on the server and therefore traditional development, debugging and unit testing methods work without modification. Further, this allows developers to spend their efforts focusing on implementing the actual business needs rather than tackling many of the complexities associated with client-side development. While virtually any web application can be built with ThinWire, when it comes to business applications, we feel there is no faster solution on which to build. To that end, a number of business banking applications built on ThinWire are currently used at a production capacity, one of which is at a top ten bank in the United States with over 1000 users.
