Rapid Application Development toolkit for building Administrative Web Applications

RADICORE - Rapid Application Development Toolkit for Building Administrative Web Applications

By Tony Marston

10th April 2006

Ever since I started publishing articles about my personal development environment, especially my Role Based Access Control system, my Workflow system, my Audit Logging system and my Data Dictionary, I have had numerous requests from people wanting to know where they could download the source code. Until recently there was only a small sample application which was available to download, but now I have decided to release all my software in a single package.

The software is being released under the product name of RADICORE and contains the following:

• A rapid application development framework which is based around Transaction Patterns.
• A dynamic Menu system.
• A Role Based Access Control system.
• An Audit Logging system which does not use database triggers.
• An Activity based Workflow system.
• A Data Dictionary which can be used to generate application components.
• Facilities for Internationalisation.
• Facilities for Multi-Tenancy.
• A wide range of Security Features.

It's even better than Ruby on Rails!

Please note that this framework has been designed primarily for administrative web applications which have restricted access, not common-or-garden websites which are open to just anybody.

This framework is being made available with two licensing options:

• Open source under the GNU General Public License (GPL) (up to version 1.35.0) and the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPL) (for version 1.36.0 and above).
• A commercial license for non-GPL users.
