RADpage combines XML with the power and the simplicity of the Rapid Application Development approach for dynamic, data-driven Web applications directly from the browser - without requiring a client-dependent development environment. RADpage is a family of software products that include Web server middleware, ready to use Web application components, a user friendly browser based Web authoring environment for developing dynamic Web sites, and a powerful HTML/XML based object-oriented programming language called heitml (pronounced "Hi"-TML). The browser based operation of RADpage provides immediate feedback that the application actually runs as intended, allowing the developer to debug the application dynamically instead of requiring the edit-save-browse cycle associated with conventional client-side development environment.
With RADpage, you can create interactive Web pages, database-driven sites, e-commerce applications and more. You can compose applications using components that come with the package, freely customize them, or you can develop custom components and applications. RADpage allows newcomers and programmers alike to deliver dynamic content and develop interactive database applications without programming cumbersome CGIs.
Our Review: The documentation is a little misleading in that RADPage is not a WYSIWYG editor, rather the code you generate is compatible with these editors. Step-by-step instructions allow you to create a multitude of things, or even code them yourself. HOWEVER (and somebody correct us if we're wrong), any pages created in RADPage don't seem to be viewable in conventional browsers such as IE or Netscape. This makes them fairly useless for publishing on the net. Shame, cos it's a good product.
