Develop Once, and Publish to the Cloud and the Stores

Instant Developer is not a simple text file editor like traditional IDEs. Instead, it converts and saves the code you enter into an object graph, a structure that allows it to rely on this knowledge at every level of the project. All the elements of the entire information system that you’re developing are kept interconnected, from the structure of the database to that of the classes, and the back-end code to the various web or mobile front-ends.

Here are just a few examples of the many advantages guaranteed by this technology:

Want to know how many points of your project use a specific object, such as a method or property? All it takes is one click.

Want to change the name or type of a database field? Instant Developer takes care of consistently fixing the rest of the project, duly changing the code.

Do you want to make a previously synchronous method asynchronous? Instant Developer can understand on its own when a method must be made asynchronous, and accordingly change the entire rest of the project for you.

The Instant Developer platform is the only one that is truly integrated at every level, thanks in part to the exclusive technology at its core: it converts and stores your code in an object graph and it interconnects all the elements of the information system.

That is why inside the Instant Developer platform you’ll find the tools you need to implement, deploy, and manage omnichannel applications in the Cloud. Everything’s already ready and integrated, and there’s nothing to download; all you need is a browser to do everything. The IDE is also in the browser. This complete, modern IDE will take nothing away from your programming experience. Here are a few functions you’ll find ready to go and completely integrated:

• Database design and deployment environment.
• Design and implementation of an ORM data access framework.
• Automatic generation of APIs/use of existing APIs.
• Front-end design using component-based graphic frameworks.
• Use of native plugins already integrated and ready for use.
• Automatic non-regression and load testing system.
• Automatic deployment in Cloud environments.
• Automatic deployment to Apple App Store and Google Play.
• Automatic update of apps without passing through the stores.
• Automatic integration with on-premise environments.
• Automatic client-cloud architecture (mobile apps can access the cloud back-end without the need to develop APIs).
• Automatic mobile-cloud synchronization (mobile apps can also work offline without limitations).
• Integrated analytics system that makes it possible to monitor users and the operation of both mobile and web applications.
• Integrated in-app user feedback collection system.
• Architecture extensible to all levels (you can freely use existing libraries, components, and plug-ins).

Certainly. In fact, the more your project grows in complexity, the greater are its advantages compared with other development tools and platforms in terms of scalability and manageability. It’s precisely when the system is complex (thousands of database tables, thousands of classes and views, millions of lines of code) that you can best capitalize on the fact that Instant Developer knows down to the tiniest detail the structure and relationships of your software code.

In fact, Instant Developer is not a simple text file editor like traditional IDEs. Instead, it converts and saves the code you enter into an object graph, a structure that allows it to rely on this knowledge at every level of the project. All the elements of the entire information system that you’re developing are kept interconnected, from the structure of the database to that of the classes, and the back-end code to the various web or mobile front-ends.

Consider the advantage of being able to edit any part of your application code and being able to find out in real time which parts of your project will be affected by this change. Instant Developer will even make most of the resulting changes for you automatically. You’ll always have control over your project, even when it becomes very complex or if the developers who created it may no longer be available.

Instant Developer offers two exclusive advantages:

• First of all, the guarantee that there will never be breaking changes. In today’s world, in which new frameworks, libraries, packages, application servers, database servers, etc. are released frequently to replace those that have become obsolete, this is truly an exclusive advantage. You’ll no longer be forced to learn everything from scratch and you won’t waste any more time porting your applications.
• And, equally as important, the base infrastructure will always be kept up-to-date, improved, and state-of-the-art. From operating systems to graphic component libraries, and from native plugins to the build system for mobile apps.

All of Instant Developer updates and improves continuously, but your project will continue to work as it did before, or actually, better than before.

Instant Developer includes a cutting-edge display framework based on extensible and granular graphic components. Web and mobile front-ends created with Instant Developer are fast and responsive like the best native applications installed on devices and computers thanks to its Remote Abstract Virtual DOM, based on the best push technologies. The graphic frameworks are also expansible for integrating new graphic components and fully customizable through traditional front-end development technologies.

Instant Developer offers an advantage that’s unique in the world: the ability to write code once and then have it deploy automatically to the cloud, thereby achieving a web application usable with normal browsers, or to deploy to the Apple and Android stores, thus obtaining a mobile application.

It’s not a simple wrapper, but an actual mobile application that can also work off-line, maintaining 100% functionality. All this with no limits on your creativity or expression on the programming language level.

Absolutely. Instant Developer converts and stores all your code in an object graph, connecting all the elements of the information system. That’s why it understands the code you’re writing, helping you create your applications more quickly in many exclusive ways. Here are just a few examples:

• You can trace references of any object in the project at the level of the entire project, including non-code objects such as database fields or the boxes in a report.
• It offers an automatic code completion system at the level of the entire project, including for dynamic type languages such as JavaScript. You don’t need to worry about defining the types, because Instant Developer identifies them automatically in most cases.
• It can synchronize asynchronous operations independently. This way you can write the code without callbacks, promises, or other technical compromises that make it difficult to write and maintain algorithms in an asynchronous environment. “Callback hell” is finally over!
• It can run an automatic completion of the changes resulting from your operations. If, for example, you change the name of a field in a database table, the entire project updates automatically.

Instant Developer is the only development platform that allows you to write SQL code that is truly independent from the database without limiting the use of special characteristics for each database you want to use. How is this possible? It derives from the fact that Instant Developer understands the meaning of the SQL code that you have written and it translates it into the form required by the type of database server you’re using at any given moment. And if a certain characteristic isn’t available in the databases you’d like to use, Instant Developer will alert you while you’re writing the code.

Absolutely. Instant Developer converts and stores all your code in an object graph, connecting all the elements of the information system. That’s why it understands the code you’re writing, helping to implement best practices in terms of security. For example, in writing SQL code you’re always automatically protected against SQL Injection types of attacks. If you’re not using Instant Developer, you can never be completely sure that you might not suffer an attack on your database!
