Google Widget Creator
Well it's been a while since posting so I thought it was overdue. I'm going to start posting at least once a week. So what is new with WyaWorks? Lot's of things but let me start with:
WyaWidget - Google Widget Creator!
So what can it do? Well it creates widgets of course. Tried this approach nearly a year ago with WyaCracker and although we got a lot of very good (and bad) feedback... never really felt comfortable with taking it out of beta. Mainly because of the IDE... seemed people didn't like the flashy red Non Web 2.0 look... So now we are going to try something a little different. Make your Google Home Page the IDE and then allow you to publish your widgets that you create to your home page and others. This way mini google widgets can be created with ease allowing others to share in your joy.
Technical upside of things... the reason we are going with this approach is to test out WyaWorks very extensive WidgetAPI... so in theory with it you can create your own IDE using the WyaWorks engine (if you like all that coding stuff).
What else is new you ask? WyaBase! This is very interesting to me because Freebase just got a lot of good publicity - especially by Tim O'Reilly... Anyhow WyaBase had incorporated many of those Semantic Web beliefs in the fact that if you cross a bunch of data it will build it's own correlation to other data... I think it's pretty neat although it still might not be implemented in the most intuitive of ways. But nonetheless give it a try and let us know. The cool thing is the WyaBase WIKIs... there you can actually add EDIT fields to your WIKIs with the click of a button and use the WIKI to gather data into your WyaBase.
Still more, well it has been a year. WyaWorks has gotten a lot more features (More Extensive IDE, XML Power * 2, WyaSQL, Generated Use Cases...) and probably a lot more complicated as well. It is extremely powerful and will allow a person with general programming knowlege and Training in WyaWorks to develop some pretty powerful things. It is still what supports the company... consulting projects done in WyaWorks because they can be done so much more efficiently than the traditional ways with the flexibility to really let things be customized if need be. The XML backend is extremely powerful.
Well that's all for now... have to save stuff for the next one. In the meantime please give the Google Widget Creator a try... and send any feedback to questions@realtimeapps.com !! ¶ 7:49 AM
