'''CodeCharge Studio''' is a [[rapid application development]] (RAD) and [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) for creating database-driven [[web application|web applications]]s.<ref name=dreier2002>Troy Dreier "[http://www.intranetjournal.com/articles/200208/it_08_30_02a.html Supercharge Your Intranet With CodeCharge Studio]." ''Intranet Journal''. 08/30/02</ref> It is a [[Automatic programming|code generator]] and [[Template engine (web)|templating engine]] that separates the presentation layer from the coding layer, with the aim of allowing designers and programmers to work cohesively in a web application<ref name=sullivan2002/> (the [[Model view controller|model-view-controller]] design pattern).

CodeCharge is the first product released by Yes Software, Inc.,<ref>Nevada Secretary of State, Corp Status "[https://www.nvsos.gov/sosentitysearch/PrintCorp.aspx?lx8nvq=qlexfy4%252fDexv5N0FLCJy6g%253d%253d&nt7=0]."</ref> after two years of development.<ref name=sullivan2002>Tom Sullivan "[http://www.computerworld.com.au/article/26228/startup_aims_combine_web_design_development/ Startup aims to combine Web design, development]." ''[[Computerworld]]''.044 June, 2002</ref>

==Software==

CodeCharge utilizes [[point-and-click]] [[Wizard (software)|wizard]]s<ref name=sullivan2002/> for creating record and search forms, grids, and editable grids without the need for programming. The databases it supports include MySQL, MS SQL Server, MS Access, PostgreSQL, and Oracle, as well as any other database that supports web connectivity. CodeCharge can export code to all major programing languages, such as [[ASP.NET]], [[Active Scripting|ASP]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[ColdFusion]], [[PHP]], and [[Perl]].<ref name=dreier2002/><ref name=macintyre2006>Peter B. MacIntyre. "[http://www.yessoftware.com/download/files/pdf/May_2006_CCS.pdf CodeCharge 3.0 Yet Another IDE?]" ''php|architect'' May 2006</ref>

<br />

CodeCharge employs an interactive [[user interface]] (UI) designed for the creation of web applications.<ref name=arzoumani2003/> When generating code, CodeCharge automatically structures the code, using naming conventions and comments to describe the code's purpose.<ref>Mike Gunderloy "[http://mcpmag.com/articles/2002/08/07/codecharge-studio-106.aspx Product Reviews: CodeCharge Studio 1.0.6]." ''Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine''. 08/07/2002.</ref> Moreover, CodeCharge keeps the application separate from the code it generates, so that projects may be converted to any language at any time.<ref name=yank2002>Kevin Yank "[http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=62#7 Software Reviews] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610234431/http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=62#7 |date=10 June 2011 }}." ''SitePoint Tech Times'', Issue #43. July2 2nd,July 2002</ref>

Without additional programming, a CodeCharge-generated project is not a routed web site (where everything is routed through, for example, index.asp); rather, every page is accessible by reference to its own name or URL.

Line 36:

===Technologies===

Here are listed technologies which used, when the application is ready and running.

* '''OOP''' - The generated application is [[Object-oriented programming|Object Oriented]].<ref name=macintyre2006/> Every structural element, like database connection, grid, navigation bar, the visible page itself etc. are all objects.

The application uses the Microsoft .NET 2 Framework and will also install when the .NET 3.5 framework is detected on the host computer.

* '''Templating ''' - Codecharge useuses htmlHTML template pages to generate visible internet sites. Templates of web pages may be previewed before making it "live."<ref>Linda M’mayi. "[http://sist.fnal.gov/sidebar/linda.pdf Website Development for Automation of the Leave/Travel System and to Interface a Database]." ''Summer Internship in Science and Technology (SIST)''. Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Batavia, IL. 11 August 11, 2005.</ref> There are xxxx.html files, accordingly xxxx.asp (xxxx.php etc.) code files and for server side events a separate xxxx_eventxxxx_events.asp (xxxxxxxx_events.php etc.) files.

* '''Customization''' - CodeCharge provides its users a standard way to set up custom code for handling events not fully addressed by the built-in features.<ref name=yank2002/>

====Application generating technologies====

Line 50 ⟶ 49:

* ASP

* Coldfusion

* xml

==Reception==

Line 55:

{{quote|"For its price tag this code generation application is well worth it. One great application that I can see this being used for is creating prototypes of web applications in very short periods of time. In other words, last minute proposals."}}

Kevin Yank of ''[[SitePoint]] Tech Times'' was impressed "by the many ways in which experienced developers could draw added power out of the software, instead of being limited by it, as is the case with most RAD tools for Web development."<ref name=yank2003>Kevin Yank "[http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=62#7 Software Reviews] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610234431/http://www.sitepoint.com/newsletter/viewissue.php?id=3&issue=62#7 |date=10 June 2011 }}." ''SitePoint Tech Times'', Issue #62. April 2, April 2003</ref>

In his review of ''CodeCharge Studio 2.0'', Troy Dreier wrote in ''Intranet Journal'', "CodeCharge Studio [allows] Web application developers [to] shave literally months off their development times."<ref>Troy Dreier "[http://www.intranetjournal.com/articles/200305/ij_05_19_03a.html CodeCharge Studio 2.0: Here's What's New]."
