"zeroCode" wins World-Class Product award

NEW DELHI:zeroCode, the Internet application development framework from

Bangalore based Ampersand Software has won a World-Class Product award from Java

Developers Journal(JDJ). Ampersand's zeroCode was reviewed in the May 2001 issue

of the Journal.

Ampersand's zeroCode is the first Indian product to be honored. Ampersand has

several worldwide patents filed for zeroCode.

Java Developer's Journal is the leading Java-specific print and online

resource in the business and technology marketplace. JDJ serves as the Java

industry's primary monthly source of information, insight and interactivity

through the accompanying web portal at www.JavaDevelopersJournal.com

.

zeroCode , the patent-pending Internet development framework, delivers an

application building capability that is both fast and reliable. Typically, the

development process for usable Web applications is multiple weeks or even

months. With zeroCode , applications can be created in minutes, thus drastically

cutting both the time and cost of the process. Typical applications save 80 per

cent or more of the time and expense associated with code development. An

equally important benefit of zeroCode is that, while the completed applications

are Java-based; their creation and maintenance do not require Java programming

skills. Because the server components of the applications are built using the

Java language, these components can run on any Java virtual machine equipped

platform, including UNIX/Linux as well as NT servers.

The zeroCode development environment presents a powerful alternative to

developing database-enabled Web sites. As zeroCode evolves and is enhanced

further, more and more complex sites can be generated using this development

platform. It's a product that takes a significant step towards the goal of

developing applications with minimal handwritten code.
