WaveMaker Introduces Point and Click Ajax

WYSIWYG Ajax Platform Creates Full Web Application in 15 Clicks
SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
WaveMaker(TM), the leading visual development platform for web
applications, today announced the release of WaveMaker Visual Ajax
Studio(TM) 4.0. WaveMaker Studio is an open source development tool
that makes it easy to build visually stunning web applications. With
just 15 mouse clicks and zero coding, a developer can build and deploy
a sleek, web-based application using WaveMaker.

"WaveMaker is hands down the fastest way to build and deploy Ajax
applications," said Chris Keene, CEO of WaveMaker. "Web developers can
use our visual studio to build point and click web applications
without having to know a single Web 2.0 acronym!"

WaveMaker Version 4.0 represents a fundamental breakthrough for
building faster, sexier, open-source web applications:

-- Fastest solution for building Ajax mashups - WaveMaker Live
Forms make it trivial to assemble applications using databases
and web services.

-- Sexiest Ajax toolkit - With this release, WaveMaker engineers
created a best in class skin for the Dojo toolkit, giving a
Mac-quality look to any web application.

-- First open-source development studio that runs in a browser -
Enables ISVs to embed WaveMaker as a customization tool within
their SaaS applications.

WaveMaker Version 4.0 includes the following features and
upgrades:

-- Eliminates forms hell - Data-aware forms enable a developer to
build a form to create, read, update and delete (CRUD)
database information with a single click.

-- Comes with a built-in "oops" button - Within the browser-based
WaveMaker visual studio, the developer can undo any number of
page designer changes.

-- Makes web services wonderful - Working with web services WSDL
is ugly - WaveMaker hides that complexity with auto-discovery
of web services.

-- Style a Mac-user can appreciate - Developers familiar with
Apple's XCode will find WaveMaker's MVC and binding interfaces
familiar and fast. Mac users will also appreciate WaveMaker's
blazing performance on Apple's Safari 3 browser.

-- Complete platform - Developers can choose to install either
the PostgreSQL open source database or EnterpriseDB's Postgres
Plus distribution, as part of their WaveMaker installation.
WaveMaker also ships with several Postgres Plus and PostgreSQL
sample applications.

"Web 2.0 applications demand the scalability, reliability and high
performance that have made PostgreSQL and Postgres Plus so popular
with developers," said Bob Zurek, chief technology officer,
EnterpriseDB. "We are pleased to partner with WaveMaker to bring the
many benefits of the world's most advanced open source database to
WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio users."

Developers agree about the speed and ease of use of the new
WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio 4.0.

"WaveMaker 4.0 brings rapid development to simple web applications
and prototypes," said Gustavo Gama of RadioMovel SA and WaveMaker
developer community member.

"I have been looking at several products to create web
applications with rich user interfaces, among them MS Visual Studio,
Visual WebGUI, TIBCO general interface and Ext, but really none of
these products offered the 'plug and play' experience that WaveMaker
offers," said Bastian Maat of SAP Belgium. "It is literally possible
to have a simple web application running in 15 minutes straight."

WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio is available under the GNU AGPL
version 3 open source license, as well as a WaveMaker commercial
license. Applications created using WaveMaker deploy as standard Java
WAR files to Java servers such as Apache Tomcat or IBM WebSphere. With
no proprietary code or languages involved, WaveMaker applications
easily meet CIOs' architecture, security and data policies.

WaveMaker Visual Ajax Studio 4.0 makes its international debut
tonight at the San Francisco JavaScript Meetup. To download a copy of
