Easy Web Development with WaveMaker will help you use WaveMaker to design, develop, and deploy rich, responsive web applications, even if you are not a programmer. If you need to build a data-driven web application, but you only know ‘enough to be dangerous,' you need this book. This book examines every angle of using WaveMaker to build applications, from dissecting examples to customizing, deploying, and debugging your own applications. This book enables the non-professional programmer to become comfortable not only with using WaveMaker Studio itself, but also with the artefacts produced by the studio as well as the runtime and services provided by the WaveMaker framework. You will learn everything, from how customize the user experience with JavaScript and CSS to integrating with custom Java services and the Spring Framework server-side.

PhoneGap build


There are two ways we can generate a hybrid mobile application from our HTML5 application using PhoneGap: locally or online in the cloud. We will be using the cloud build option; the easier of the two.

Local builds require significant effort to set up and configure. Requirements include an appropriate build device, SDKs, and compilers, as well as the PhoneGap binaries. In the case of iOS, this means developers need a Mac OS X system with both Xcode and the iOS SDK installed, as well as the Cordova libraries from http://phonegap.com/download/. Android local build requirements are similar, but requiring Eclipse and the Android SDK instead. In both cases, developers must manually manage wm.xhrPath for final deployment.

The setup of the build environment can be time consuming. However, once successfully configured, the build/test cycles with the local build are much faster, providing a more productive development environment. The emulators in the development kits provide...
