Kow we want to create new Internetsites for our office and i am very interestet to get more informations how to do it with Dataease. thanks for any kind of help. Kind regards Markus

Dear Markus. Thank you for taking the time to write to us. This entire website is developed in DG3 Web Framework, which is the first product in the new DG3 product line. It is still an Alpha product, which means that it is still in Development and that we only use it for internal projects i.e. it is not released for general use. This said, we have used DG3 on live project (i.e. projects in collaboration with partners and clients that is in production - not demos!) since April last year. DG3 Web Framework is already an impressive product which capabillities way beyond previous DataEase products. The reason we have not released it is primarily a market consideration. We could have released DG3 Web Framework (and we have in limited numbers) as a development tool for advanced developers, but since the product is still in development and there is very limited documentation etc. on the product, it simply is to demanding for us to support the developers. DG3 Web Framework is also the framework in which we will develop the other DG3 products in - WebEasy, WinEasy, LegEasy and AppEasy. These are more traditional interpretations of DataEase, where you will be able to develop Web, Windows, "DOS" and mobile apps in the traditional WYSIWYG manner. DG3 Web Framework is a fantastic tool to work with, when you get the hang of it, but the threshold to get started is still too high, as our focus has been on the end user possibilities (what the app can do for the client), rather than the developer experience up to now. It doesn't have loose wires hanging out of the engine bay, but the focus has not been on streamlining the developer experience up to now. Having said that, I developed a complete solution on top of a DFD 8.0 app on Monday for a University here in London, and it took me less than a day from start to finish, so it is a very fast tool to make advanced web applications in already. We tested out giving the product to some valued partners, but we ended up spending way too much time and resources on explaining them the fundamentals, so we have stopped doing that and have instead put down as a criterium that anyone that want to use DG3 Web Framework undergo two days training to get a proper understanding of the product, and how to develop in it. This is necessary because DG3 change the way one have to view DataEase development, as well as the horieszont of what DataEase can do. As our resources at the moment is focused on development, we don't have time to do any more training until later this year, or early next year, when we intend to have a developer conference for "early adapters". This will be an invitational only, and everyone that participate need to come with a live business case that they want to be solved in DG3. Anyone can put themselves forward, and we will then select the ones we want to invite based on their skill set and the cases they want solved. We are also going to open applications for our Pre-Launch program, where we solve projects in conjunction with partners/clients, again later this year. The criteria for Pre-Launch is that it is a live project, and that it challenges DG3 and us. This interprets as follows: 1. The project is for a production system, not for a demo. 2. It is a paid for project, not a proof of concept. 3. The customer will have to pay 50% of the agreed sum before we start, and 50% on delivery. 4. We will deliver the agreed project with the agreed functionality, if we need to amend our product to achieve the goal, we will do it. 5. The delivery will be a fixed price project, and we will only re-negotiate payment if the scope of the project radically changes. We will allow for agreed changes to the scope, without changing the terms.
