State-of-the-Art
Development Product
Designed specifically for the MultiValue marketplace!
This
exciting new technology demonstrates our commitment to TigerLogic customers as well as the entire MultiValue community. If
you are one of the thousands of developers who have created
an application with world-class functionality, but one that
needs a more contemporary look and feel, then mvDesigner is
the right tool for you!
mvDesigner
is the most comprehensive Rapid Application Development environment
specifically designed for use with MultiValue databases. This
sophisticated, but simple to use RAD tool has been carefully
designed to minimize the MultiValue developer's learning curve,
while it maximizes efficiency during the RAD development process.
| No
compromises!
Only
a few development tools in the MultiValue market have
been able to achieve any success bringing a GUI front
end to traditional character based applications. Since
the early days, a variety of solutions have been tried:
- Terminal
emulation
- Screen
scraping
- Client/Server
- 4GL
Tools
Most
of the above solutions increased the overall level of
complexity, added processing overhead, extended the re-engineering
effort, and forced compromises into a closed-end solution
that restricted functionality due to character-based dependencies. |
Tightly
integrated with your MultiValue environment, you will find
that mvDesigner allows you to always be in control. User
interactions, backend processing, and real-time event reporting
are readily available at your fingertips. |
| With
mvDesigner, TigerLogic offers a unique technology which
allows developers to deploy elegant GUI front end applications
as thick (client/server) or thin (web) clients while fully
utilizing existing MultiValue business rules and file
structures. No need to flatten your files or wrap your
code with unnecessary subroutines.
This
simple, direct interface to your application provided
by mvDesigner allows you to preserve the power of business
rules written in MultiValue BASIC, and drive the front-end
the way you want it, when you want it. All of this allows
your application to easily take action on the client event
when you need it. We do the hard work behind the scenes,
allowing you to concentrate on your business solution. |
| Database
Versatility: Out of the Box
Applications
today are required to run in multiple client platforms,
operating systems and inter-operate with other applications,
all of which frequently run on disparate database
management systems. With mvDesigner, your software
application can access other RDBMS via mvDesigner's
native Data Access Module (DAM) built-in architecture.
Whether
you are required to read or write via ODBC or through
more native interfaces, the capability is readily
available for your convenience. |
| 
The
mvDesigner environment makes extensive use
of GUI drag and drop facilities to build the
industry's most sophisticated feature-rich
front ends. The built-in component store provides
all the controls you will ever need to build
thick and thin client applications. And if
this is not enough, mvDesigner's component-based
architecture allows you to interface natively
with any external component you desire, exposing
its methods and properties for easy integration.
A
sophisticated SQL browser and multithreaded
session manager makes data movement a snap. |
