Why Activegrid?
ActiveGrid Studio enables developers to rapidly build enterprise-level Web 2.0 applications with a minimum of
training, time, and effort. This means that even the largest application backlogs can be steadily reduced, based
on efficient, standards-based development with ActiveGrid Studio.
Deliver Rich, Interactive Web 2.0 User Interfaces
Editors and wizards help developers quickly add Ajax features to applications such as scrolling tables, editable
grids and hover pop-ups by simply changing a component’s properties. Support for Python and Java ensure rapid
development doesn't mean a restricted feature set or lack of control.
ActiveGrid Studio supports reusable CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and application skins so that user interfaces
can adhere to the latest corporate standards with minimal developer effort.

Quickly Tie Systems Together with Lightweight Integration
ActiveGrid Studio’s visual tools simplify building composite applications (“mash-ups”) that
incorporate existing databases and web services, including stored procedures, RSS, SOAP, and REST services. All
logic is represented with a WSDL interface, giving the developer a single, unified view of every data source from
inside or outside the enterprise.
Build Applications with Less Code
Because ActiveGrid Studio adheres to XML standards, there is no need for code generation or proprietary metadata.
Applications with less code are cheaper to build and to maintain over time. When custom code is needed, developers
can choose from easy-to-use scripting languages like Python, or standard enterprise languages such as Java.
Automatically Enforce Security Controls
Built-in role management eliminates the need for complex and brittle “if-then” statements as security
controls. This allows applications to dynamically adapt user interface and application flows based on a
user’s defined role. For example, if a user does not have write access, an input becomes a label. If a user
does not have read privileges, the form element is removed entirely.
Raise Productivity at All Levels
Installing ActiveGrid Studio takes less than 15 minutes. It’s delivered with everything developers need,
including an integrated Web server, embedded database, and sample Web 2.0 applications.
Wizards and graphical editors enable corporate developers at all skill levels to quickly connect to existing
corporate systems and create everything from simple database applications with full master/detail functionality to
service-oriented applications that integrate multiple web services.
What’s more, ActiveGrid Studio embedded runtime enables real-time iterative development, so developers
can preview and test-run applications at any point during development. Comprehensive debugging and team support
are also provided, including remote debugging for PHP, Python, and Java, as well as support for source code
repositories such as SVN.
