Abstract

Most Web end-user development tools assume that users create Web applications entirely visually. However, such tools have a limited functionality and support inadequately the transition from visual editing to source code editing. In this paper, we introduce a tool, XIDE, that supports end users in creation of database-driven Web applications. The proposed tool is based on three main approaches: (1) visual composition of applications from reusable components, (2) source code editing of both applications and components, and (3) unified programming model based on markup languages.
