Most web app generators give you a tool to create specific pages and choose settings
for each and every page. While they may save time compared to writing the code yourself,
it is still time consuming to learn the intricacies of the tool.
Enter
Code On Time web app generator. This tool stands out from the others
by creating a full featured web app without any effort on your part. Point to your
database and press
Generate. In minutes you'll have an AJAX integrated web
app with sorting, adaptive filtering, searching, charting, reporting, data sheet
view, and much more. You can immediately deploy this application to your preferred
hosting service (and even
to the cloud).
If necessary,
Code On Time Generator has a host of tools to customize your
web app to fit your needs.
Code On Time web app generator creates true Web 2.0 web apps that are efficient,
fast, and easy to customize.
Caspio also attempts to do this, with much effort
on your part. The picture below compares a freshly generated
Code On Time
web app with one of
Caspio's massaged applications. View our
demos in action.
Code On Time ASP.NET 3.5/4.0 code is generated in C# or Visual Basic.NET,
de facto industry standards. Caspio uses proprietary tools.
Code On Time
web apps do not require any proprietary tools - use industry standard SQL Server,
Oracle, MySQL, SQLAnywhere, DB2, PostgreSQL, or SQL Azure to host your database.
Caspio uses
their proprietary database storage to hold your data.
Code On Time applications
have
Data Sheet View
and
Chart View
available in all pages. For comparison,
view our short video series on how to build a full featured web app from scratch.
Every page has
Quick Find, as well as adaptive filtering options and a search bar. You
also have the ability to create an RSS of your sorted and filtered data, as well
as export to CSV, TIFF, spreadsheet and word document.

Caspio requires you to design and create "task" oriented pages (separate pages for
editing, searching, adding records, etc). We instantly generate multi-functional
pages to improve user experience and simplify maintenance. A database of ten tables
will translate into ten Code On Time pages. Caspio will require you to create more
than 40 pages to do the same. Several Code On Time customers were able to create
and maintain web applications with more than 300 tables. Code On Time will automatically
create multi-function pages such as the one in the picture below, with no effort
on your part. For comparison, see this
six minute video on how to create a single Caspio web form.
Code On Time web apps now include Access Control Rules, the first component of EASE
(Enterprise Application Services Engine).
Access Control Rules allow easy creation of sophisticated data segmentation
rules, making multi-tenant applications simple to develop and maintain. The upcoming
components of EASE will make this process even easier.
The number of customization requests that you receive after deployment is critical
to fully appreciate the quality of the produced application. Web applications created
with
Code On Time generator will shine in this department. Use
Code On Time
Designer (shown below) for a point-and-click approach to customization.
Code On Time web apps also allow easy extension with business logic classes and
custom user controls - you can use your favorite code editing program, such as
Visual
Studio.
Caspio gives you proprietary tools to write your code. Alternatively,
you can spend your time with
Caspio clicking through wizards.
Using the Project Designer, you can drag and drop project configuration elements to customize your web application.
Both beginners and power users will benefit from alternative designer Code On Time Tools for Excel.
Hosting and maintaining your own on-premise application setup is difficult. Just
setting it up will take lots of time and money, let alone updating and scaling to
fit the user's needs. Windows Azure cloud hosting makes this easy - deploy your
application to the cloud with
Azure
Factory. With a few clicks, your application will be protected by firewall,
enhanced with load balancer, and running on two extra-small Compute instances. There
are no upfront expenses or need to have extensive knowledge - just pay as you go.

DotNetNuke Factory creates DNN modules that are ready for deployment to your portal.
Simply point to your DotNetNuke instance, generate the application, and press deploy.
Within a few minutes, you can add your data module to any page. Look at our tutorial

What would you say if your users were able to edit data in a web browser as if it
were Microsoft Access or Microsoft Excel? Surely that would be great. Only
Code On
Time offers an innovative
Data Sheet view that works in major browsers and requires no plugins.
Caspio requires you to build individual pages for each table you want to
edit.

can search by? How about letting your users to search for their data using any combination
of field they desire. Read about
searching in Code On Time applications. Quick Find, automatic search bars,
and adaptive filtering are a part of every data grid.

secure user identity verification. Business users can quickly create custom digital
dashboards and work with the data without even being required to log in to the website.
Being able to take data offline is critical in today's world.
Code On Time makes
it possible.
