'''MDriven''' is software modeling, prototyping and execution made easy. You do not need to know Java or c# to fully test your ideas for advanced information handling. You just need to learn how to model and you will get instant gratification. Furthermore MDriven can take you all the way to a finished system – in the cloud or on your server – with web based user interface or/and with a rich client application.

'''Mockotype''' (A free version of MDriven Designer complete with hidden advanced options) is a standalone Windows application allowing you to model and design information systems. Models created with Mockotype can be started with the built-in prototypers for WPF and the downloaded Turnkey in HTML5. They are compatible with MDriven Designer and MDriven Framework.
 
Using Mockotype allows you to figure out the real needs of your information system. It is hard to cover all the bases in a written specification, and choosing not to define certain requirements upfront will most probably cost you time, money, and frustration later on. Once your Mockotype executes, it can be sent as the complete specification to the concerned parties.

'''MDriven Designer''' is a standalone windows application that allows you to model and design information systems. Models created with MDriven Designer rely heavily on standards as UML and OCL. You can execute your model with the MDriven Designer built in prototyper and you can upload your model to a MDriven Turnkey site to have a fully functional information system in the cloud.

Using MDriven Designer is very much like having a full stack software development team made out of software – it reacts in seconds – in does exactly what you say – it only questions you when you are inconsistent – it will do a good job of merging changes into existing information structures to keep data – it will follow every rule on how to create scalable normalized databases that are easy to read and understand – it will never get tired and it is really fast.

MDriven Designer

Designer-logo.png

MDriven Designer is a standalone Windows application that allows you to model and design information systems. Models created with MDriven Designer rely heavily on standards such as UML and OCL. You can execute your model with the built-in prototyper and upload your model to an MDriven Turnkey site to have a fully functional information system in the cloud.

Using MDriven Designer is quite similar to having a full-stack software development team made out of software:

  • It reacts in seconds and does exactly what you say,
  • Only questions you when you are inconsistent,
  • Will do a good job of merging changes into existing information structures to keep data,
  • Will follow every rule on how to create scalable normalized databases that are easy to read and understand,
  • Will never tire –
  • And is fast.

You can get the latest version of MDriven Designer here.

Take a look at the first overview to start working: MDriven Designer Overview.

We also provide full in-depth tutorials to help you create and operate your application: MDriven Designer Overview Sessions.

The best way to learn, step by step, is to follow along with The_1000_Steps_Program_to_MDriven.

MDriven Server

MDriven Server.png

MDriven Server is an IIS-hosted web application. The UI of the MDriven Server is intended for developers/administrators of an MDriven System.

The MDriven Server can receive models from MDriven Designer – it will maintain an SQLCompact, SQLServer, or MySQL database and implement all the necessary logic for client-to-client synchronization. The MDriven Server also implements an ability to execute periodic declarative jobs serverside. These jobs are fully defined on the model level in MDriven Designer.

In addition to the MDriven Designer, you can get the latest version of the MDriven Server here.

MDriven Server will automatically install on your server if you start working with MDriven from portal.mdriven.net. (MDriven Turnkey site creation).

If you want to install MDriven Server locally on your computer, check out this installation guide: Installing MDriven Server on Windows.

MDriven Turnkey

Turnkey-logo.png

MDriven Turnkey is an IIS Model-Driven application that utilises all of the possibilities in MDriven Designer and Server. It provides a new way to develop Internet applications.

MDriven Turnkey is based on proven technologies such as JQuery, Bootstrap, AngularJS, MDriven Framework, Azure, and SQLServer.

It introduces a flexible use of AngularJS for rich JavaScript applications in the browser and allows for WPF-partly-fat clients, Xamarin app development, and Cordova app development.

The Web User Interfaces provided by MDriven Turnkey use standard Bootstrap rendering to produce clean and readable HTML5. You can choose on a screen-by-screen basis whether to use MVC5/Razor or AngularJS for your displays.

Get started in just a few minutes with MDriven Turnkey: MDriven Turnkey site creation.

Manual installation: Installing Turnkey as an Azure WebApp.

You can always develop your MDriven Turnkey application locally on your computer: Development in Visual Studio.

We provide full, in-depth tutorials of MDriven Turnkey: MDriven Turnkey Overview Sessions.

MDriven Framework

MDriven Framework is the MDriven Designer embedded into Visual Studio; it generates the business layer code corresponding to the model. You have full access to the model in C#, allowing you to implement business-specific rules in OCL and C# as you see fit. The compiled result may be used with CodeDress in MDriven Turnkey - or could build standalone clients or servers using model-driven technology.
