IBM has released EGL Community Edition, a freely available Eclipse-based tool that simplifies development of JavaScript-based Web applications.
Developers who traditionally code in PHP, Ruby on Rails, Groovy, JavaScript and HTML can now download free EGL tools to code, test, and debug rich Web 2.0 applications in one simplified language.
JavaScript development can be complex, but is the core of all dynamic Web applications being built today. EGL CE supports development of rich, JavaScript-based user interfaces without writing any JavaScript, and Java-based services without writing any Java code. This lets developers create complex Web applications that users demand without coding in multiple different languages and patching pieces together for the end product. And with the ability to test and debug applications without deploying to a server, EGL CE lets developers spend more time coding and less time deploying.
