JackBe's JackBe NQ Suite 4.0 is a development environment that allows coding of advanced JavaScript-based forms and spreadsheets. The integrated development environment (IDE) runs in a browser as DHTML, but will seem to the developer to be a custom client application coded in Assembler. The JackBe development environment emerged at the same time that JavaScript and Asynchronous JavaScript and eXtensible Markup Language (AJAX) programming is taking off. Java developers now know that the browser and DHTML also provide much of the interactive, advanced abilities of advanced interfaces custom clients, but without many of the complexities. A user can install a JavaScript tool as easily as going to a Web page with a modern browser such as Firefox. The strength of the system is a closely coded library of needed JavaScript functions that are meant to be loaded onto the user's PC the first time that he or she visits a site. The file contains JavaScript code for construction of menus, input boxes, and spreadsheets in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). The remainder of a Web application generated by JackBe is put together with many of the functions. JackBe creators carefully conserve bytes and there are many specific functions for often encountered problems. The IDE has to run in Internet Explorer, but the tools created are cross-browser-compliant. JackBe NQ Suite 4.0 is rated very good overall and earns its highest marks for capability and value.
