Envision What You Can Do with Biz-Apps

We all agree that PxPlus has a lot of cool tools to build business applications. However, we may not always see how to best implement a new feature or how to tackle a new project. Fortunately, you don’t have to start from scratch. By using the code samples in the Biz-Apps Application Framework, you can quickly update your application or build a new application in record time.

What do you need to do today? (And could it be easier?)

Think about all the things that make software development fun. Now … think about all the fairly routine tasks you repeat over and over to support functionality. Wouldn’t it be nice to have those routine pieces in place, ready to re-use when you need them?

That’s what Biz-Apps is all about. Biz-Apps is an iNomads-ready sample application that showcases the PxPlus Development Suite. The main purpose of Biz-Apps is to demonstrate the use of OOP objects, grids, and the PxPlus tool set when building a new application from the ground up.

In Biz-Apps, you can examine the code samples and learn how to minimize coding through file maintenance, dependency definitions, smart controls, and use of common objects. Once you discover these shortcuts, you’ll want to incorporate them in your own applications.

The new Rocker Control tool has been added to all maintenance and data entry screens to enable easier navigation through your files.

And you can! We included a tree-view-based task launcher and toolset, the PxPlus Launcher, which simplifies:

• Task maintenance — allowing an unlimited number of transactions of many different types
• Menu maintenance — helping you build menus and sub-menus and even import and export menu utilities
• Help, wiki, and HTML functionality — enabling integration of application help and developer notes for an HTML application, website, or dashboard

The PxPlus Launcher even includes security checks that prevent tasks from being added to a menu if they fail to meet security specifications.

And there’s so much more!

You’ll be able to see how you can simplify your coding process with PxPlus tools such as a data dictionary, data classes, views, and data sources. You can see how Query+ was used to create all the queries and smart controls. And you can learn to use Views and the Report Writer to create simple and complex reports.

Biz-Apps is a great training tool that will help you learn new concepts to use in your applications and simplify challenging areas such as OOP and grids. But it’s also a resource that you’ll turn to over and over, with code examples you can re-use in your everyday work.
