EchoStudio Overview (1/3)

This brief overview provides a visual introduction to the features and capabilities of EchoStudio.

What you see is what you want.

The Form Editor enables you to create user interfaces with a simple point-and-click interface. The upper left area of the screen shows the hierarchy of components making up the form, while properties of the selected component may be edited in the region below. The preview pane is automatically updated whenever you make a change and always show exactly what your application will look like on the client web browser.

Fine-grained control.

Convenient property editors are available for each property of each component, such that you can edit anything from a String to background image data without ever leaving the comfort of the visual editor.

Event horizon.

Behaviors may be defined using the events editor. Just click on a component and select the 'Events' tab; then enter the name of the method to be invoked in response to the event. An event handler will automatically be generated for you.

No mess.

Source code is generated and updated as you modify a form. Code generated by EchoStudio is kept out of the way and automatically "folded up" so that you can concentrate on the business logic of your application.
