X-Appl - Web Application Browser

Introduction

Imagine a web browser so powerful that it not only allows you to view web pages, but also enable you to:

• Execute web applications directly from any web server.
• Create web applications that look and feel exactly like desktop applications.
• Build web applications using tools and skills that are readily available.

X-Appl is the first of a new generation "web application browser" that moves web development out of the web browser into a true Windows environment.

Our current product editions are made up from the following three components:

• XPlore - X-Appl Web Application Browser
• XIDE - X-Appl Developer Studio
• Omnibus - Secure offline storage for web applications

These components are packaged in four product editions:

• Client Viewer - Free version, suited for Internet only use (non SSL)
• Professional Edition - Non-limited version with extra security features
• Enterprise Edition - Same as professional edition with additional security and management features
• Developer Edition - Same as professional edition with developer tools included (X-IDE)
