Comprehensive Eclipse-based IDE
Bungee Connect includes a professional Eclipse-based development environment that extends standard development concepts for cloud-based applications. Bungee Connect accelerates development and creativity in solving business problems by removing much of the heavy-lifting in writing application logic, connecting multiple data sources and debugging applications. Bungee Connect developers focus their development time on creating compelling user interactions and great code while Bungee Connect manages the rest, like state management, javascript and marshalling web service calls.
Because Bungee Connect is based on standard concepts and technologies, developers familiar with Eclipse and languages like Java, C++ and C# can ramp up in just a few days. Bungee Connect automatically manages the application state between the client and server, view updates as data changes and web service marshalling. Bungee Connect also includes a full-syntax, C-style language, called Bungee Sky, to create sophisticated on-demand applications. This language gives developers a full syntax to tackle complex coding requirements involving user interactions, data and the coordination between clients and the server with the control of traditional languages.
Interactive End-User Experience
Bungee-powered applications use Ajax to deliver desktop-like interactivity without a plug-in or install and across the most popular browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari). Developers use a visual form designer with a wide range of Ajax controls and a flexible geometry model to efficiently create intuitive user experiences and unlock new application value. Bungee takes a unique approach to Ajax using a generalized Javascript engine for all applications rather than requiring custom Javascript development or dynamic code generation. While Bungee Connect offers a wide range of commonly used controls, you can extend the library of available controls with your own Ajax controls to leverage custom controls you may have previously built.
Web Service & DB Connectivity
Bungee Connect automates the connectivity to multiple data sources including SOAP and REST services and MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. Whether the services are broadly available public services or private business services, Bungee Connect developers can leverage those services in new ways. Bungee Connect can also make legacy applications available as a service to be used in your applications. Data sources are accessed through the Bungee servers, not the client, enabling more security for the data and a wider range of connectivity options within applications.
Developer Collaboration
Bungee Connect supports teams of developers with an integrated source control system. No need to juggle versions of application code between code repositories and environments as the team collaborates on the application. Starting a team development project is easy — just create a DesignGroup and invite the other team members. With no configuration, the team is now ready to begin development. This approach enables code sharing without a complicated setup.
