“Wow! Cool!” That about sums up the awesomeness of this visual ajax development thingamajigger, called WaveMaker. I’m all into being a great developer and not using WYSIWYG’s but sometimes… It’s just more better to be able to use tools to get acquainted with a technology, rather than cracking a book open or browsing site tutorials.

So, for me? This is good stuff. I learn by example, and use crutches like this to do just that. Get things done, and learn cool stuff! I mean, let’s be real about this one - if you can learn while producing, you’ll learn faster and push limits farther than just pumping out a Hello, World application from some book you found on Amazon… Well, at least that’s my take on it.

As you may guess, I’ve just finished installing this application - because - even though it’s not Web 2.0… it’s more a means of making Web 2.0 radicalness than it is a website. Anyhow, my first impressions - literally - are “Holy f**k this is COOL!” - mainly because, to my surprise, the application - after installation - opened in… Firefox! It is … browser based! This should make browser compatibility a breeze!

It’s available for Windows, and LINUX - sorry MAC people, you’ll have to use this via Parallels or whatever you people do these days. Anyway, you’ll have to use it to believe how rad it is - I just wanted to share the cool stuff. Go get’r!
