Starter Kit
Welcome to MDriven Starter Kit page! This page contains all information that you may need to easy and quick start with MDriven.
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 - best place to start!
Mockotype (A free version of MDriven Designer started with advanced options hidden) is a standalone windows application that allows 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. Mockotype models are compatible with MDriven Designer and MDriven Framework.
Using Mockotype is great to find out the real needs of your information system. When writing a specification in text it is hard to ensure that you cover all the bases - if you miss to define certain requirements up front it may cost you time, money and frustration later on. Once can execute your mockotype you can send it as the complete specification to concerned parties.

MDriven Designer
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.

Take the first overview which helps you to start working - MDriven Designer overview.
Also, we provide you with the full depth tutorials to help you create and operate your application - MDriven Designer Overview Sessions.
MDriven Server
MDriven Server is an IIS hosted web-application. The UI of MDriven Server is intended for developers/administrators of an MDriven System.
The MDriven Server can receive models from MDriven Designer – it will maintain a 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 server side. These jobs are fully defined on the model level in MDriven Designer.
As well as the MDriven Designer, you can get the latest version of 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 this installation guide - Installing MDriven Server on Windows.
MDriven Turnkey
MDriven Turnkey is an IIS Model Driven application that make use of all of the possibilities in MDriven Designer and Server. MDriven Turnkey is a new way to develop internet applications.
MDriven Turnkey is based on proven technologies like JQuery, Bootstrap, AngularJS, MDriven Framework, Azure and SQLServer.
MDriven Turnkey introduces a flexible use of AngularJS for rich javascript applications in the browser. It allows for WPF-partly-fat clients, for Xamarin app development and for Cordova app development.
The WEB-UI’s provided by MDriven Turnkey make use of standard Bootstrap rendering producing clean and readable HTML5. You choose on screen by screen basis to use MVC5/Razor or AngularJS for your displays.
Get start in few minutes with MDriven Turnkey - MDriven Turnkey site creation.
Manual instalation - Installing TurnKey as an Azure WebApp.
Also, you can develop your MDriven Turnkey application locally on your computer - Development in Visual Studio.
We provide you with the full depth tutorials of MDriven Turnkey - MDriven Turnkey Overview Sessions.
MDriven Framework
MDriven Framework is the MDriven Designer embedded into Visual Studio and it will generate the business layer code corresponding to the model. Now you have full access to the model in c# and you can implement business rules in OCL or c# as you see fit. The compiled result may be used with CodeDress in MDriven Turnkey - or you can build standalone clients or servers using model driven technology.
