JUCE is a C++ toolkit for building cross-platform applications on PC/Mac/Linux. Particularly good for complex, customised GUIs and audio/midi processing, it also includes a vast range of classes to help with all your day-to-day programming tasks.
The aim of Juce is to allow software to be written such that the same source code will compile and run identically on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms. It supports various development environments and compilers, such as GCC, Xcode and Visual Studio.
PostgreSQL hasn’t had much coverage on this site yet and that’s something we’re going to correct now. PostgreSQL has, for the longest time, had a running rivalry with MySQL as the great open source database. MySQL has arguably been more popular but PostgreSQL is not without its share of advocates and adherents.
In this short article, we’re going to take a quick look at two tools written for designing and administering PostrgreSQL databases. These were selected for their recent releases this April.
First up, we have pgDesigner, an open source program for graphic design of PostgreSQL databases. pgDesigner is written in Gambas, a Visual BASIC-like programming language and requires Gambas to run. pgDesigner is currently at version 1.2.3.
Next, we have phpPgAdmin, a web-based administration tool for PostgreSQL databases. phpPgAdmin can administer multiple servers and is ideal for managing remote databases. Almost all aspects of a running PostgreSQL database can be managed using phpPgAdmin. phpPgAdmin is currently at version 4.2.
WaveMaker 3.0 is a WYSIWYG builder for Java Web applications. It creates standard Java applications based on Dojo AJAX widgets, Spring, and Hibernate. WaveMaker apps deploy as standard Java WAR files and can be opened and extended in Eclipse or Netbeans.
Crow Designer is a GUI builder for the GTK+ toolkit. It is an IDE-embeddable RAD tool designed to fulfill the needs of desktop programmers who want to create multi-platform GTK+ based applications with minimal GUI coding. The project is targeted to develop a tool that is coherent and productive for experienced GTK+ users as well as simple and accessible for newcomers.
Crow Designer 2.11.3 was just released recently.
