Welcome!

With AllFusion Plex and Websydian, you now have an advanced and efficient environment for developing applications for the web.  Regarding productivity and ease-of-use, we believe that Websydian with AllFusion Plex will provide you with a very strong technology for building integrated Web, Wireless, and XML applications for the corporate business.

The Websydian Product Suite contains the following products:

• Enterprise Web Developer is a complete development environment for building HTML applications for the internet.  At the same time, Enterprise Web Developer provides fundamental patterns used by the other Enterprise Development products.
• Enterprise Wireless Developer provides full support for development of integrated wireless applications using the WAP or I-Mode standards.
• Enterprise TransacXML Developer is a complete XML Development Environment enabling corporate developers to build transactional XML applications tightly integrated with corporate back-end systems.
• Enterprise WebShop Developer is a foundation for building true enterprise-class web shopping applications completely integrated with the back-end systems which control shop-related functions in today’s typical enterprise-size business.
• Enterprise Cleverpath Portal Developer enables a company to present multiple applications in a Cleverpath Portal and to develop integrated applications specific for the Cleverpath Portal.

As a developer, you will experience a number of general advantages using Websydian compared to other web development tools:

• Several environments - one tool.  Using Websydian, you won't need to learn about scripting languages, protocols, and advanced HTML structures.  Websydian will shield you from the underlying technology, so you can concentrate on specifying the business logic of your web application in AllFusion Plex.
• With Websydian, you will take advantage of the model-based approach provided by AllFusion Plex.  All references will be kept in the development model as well as the AllFusion Plex pattern technology is available for your web development.  It is even possible to model the flow of your web application by diagrams.
• Websydian lets your web application integrate with existing applications.  Table definitions and server processes on existing systems can be mapped within AllFusion Plex and subsequently referenced by your web application.  Also, Websydian applications will reuse existing business rules and declarations made in AllFusion Plex.
• Websydian provides automatic generation of first-cut Document Templates representing the layout of the HTML pages in the web application.  Furthermore, the Document Template approach taken by Websydian will separate the specification of functionality from the HTML design layout work.
• Websydian includes a number of high-level utility patterns providing ready-to-use functionality for List, Create and Update pages plus a number of other patterns.
• A number of productivity modules are included in the Websydian package.  These include patterns for Session Management, Integrity Control, User Management, Audit Control, and Presentation Layer Management.
  
• ...and much much more

Hopefully, this documentation will lead you safely through your initial learning of the Websydian concepts and techniques as well as support you with reference information once you get started with the Websydian development.
