This article considers JackBe NQ Suite 4.0, a toolkit for producing JavaScript-enabled forms and spreadsheets. The JackBe development environment has arrived just as interest in JavaScript and AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) programming is exploding. Getting a user to install a JavaScript tool developed with JackBe is as simple as getting him or her to go to a Web page with a current browser such as Firefox. The rest of any Web application generated by JackBe is stitched together with many of these functions. Any programmer who has written software to generate software will understand how this approach saves bandwidth. The server-side of the JackBe development process runs in a Java servlet container. JackBe's greatest competition may come from other packages of JavaScript libraries and open source compilations, such as SAJAX (Simple AJAX). JackBe's roughness is due to the company's youth. The system is not available as a shrink-wrapped download. Until then, the company understands it must teach its customers a few new tricks. The snappiness of the JavaScript-enabled Web pages makes that effort worthwhile.
