Press Release Body = TheDevShop has just released version 5 of dbQwikSite, its web
application RAD tool. This release significantly changes the boundaries of
traditional web code generators. dbQwikSite integrates to other web authoring
tools, as well as integrating more of the database design process. The result is a
powerful web application development environment that requires virtually no
programming skills. The end user focuses on application functionality, flow and
design, and the code generation engine takes care of the programming tasks.

dbQwikSite Version 5 focuses on integrating web development desktop work flow. This
release ties together many common tasks between web design and web development and
across various development tools. To design a database web site, users typically
need to jump between different tools each specialized for a different aspect of
development, such as database design, page design and coding. In version 5, users
are offered a wealth of tools and features which enable them to work seamlessly when
creating web applications. Version 5 blurs the lines between traditional programming
tools. It humanizes the development process by allowing users to work naturally,
making iterative changes and tweaks as they move forward in development and into
maintenance. This type of flexibility is typically the realm of high end enterprise
tools.

Many code generators require that users have an existing database before pages can
generated, not so with dbQwikSite. It has a host of tools to help users create
databases. Tables can be created not only by the traditional methods of defining
fields and data types, but by also by many innovative ways geared toward your less
technical users. For example users can import Excel files, MySQL users can create
tables from MySQL dumps, dbQwikSite provides a rich set of database table templates
that can be mixed and matched to create new tables and field combinations. New in
version 5 is a web form import tool, aimed at webmasters who are more familiar with
HTML than with SQL. Simply design a web form, or pick one from the web and import
it to dbQwikSite. In this process, dbQwikSite will analyze the form, and suggests a
table structure based on the form design.

TheDevShop has given a lot of consideration to make dbQwikSite support the way
people normally work, embracing not only the creation process, but also the
iterative changes that are a natural part of developing and maintaining
applications. Version 5 introduces a "universal" database table editor. Users can
change their database tables on-the-fly as the need for new fields or other changes
are discovered. Many code generators will balk at changes to the data structures.
dbQwikSite V5 handles these changes gracefully, analyzing your current design
against your changed data structures, and flagging design items that require
attention. dbQwikSite is more than a web site generator; it makes it an invaluable
tool for maintaining database web sites through the entire lifecycle of the
application.

Version 5, offers a new HTML editor integration. You can assign your HTML editor to
replace the integrated HTML editor. Users of Dreamweaver and FrontPage, or any
other editor, can edit dbQwikSite HTML pages and HTML fragments, in their preferred
HTML designer. dbQwikSite not only launches your editor with the correct page
loaded, but it monitors all the files that are edited. dbQwSite project pages which
reference HTML modified outside of dbQwikSite, will display a warning the next time
they are accessed in dbQwikSite. Always with maintenance in mind, a nifty
"reconciliation report" tool, not only highlights changes, but also allows users to
automatically merge in external changes by clicking a "accept" or "reject" change
link in the report.

Project Reports are a new feature in this release. A number of supplied reports
provide the means to analyze web site design for trouble shooting as well as reports
to support integration. The reports are part of a new plug-in architecture and
leverage an XML project file format. New reports can be developed independently
using XSL.

This most recent release is not limited to integration automation. It also features
advancements in the technical aspects of the software. The code generation engine
now generates PHP, ASP, and ASP.net. Windows Vista support is also part of this
release.
