AppJet, Inc.[1] was a website that allowed users to create web-based applications on a client web browser. AppJet was founded by three MIT graduates, two of whom were engineers at Google, before starting AppJet.[2] They launched their initial public beta on December 12, 2007, allowing anyone to create a web app.
AppJet received funding from Y Combinator in the summer of 2007.[3] However, the project was closed on July 1, 2009 to focus on other businesses. AppJet was finally acquired by Google on December 4, 2009, for an undisclosed amount.[4]
Programming tutorial
[edit]On August 14, 2008, AppJet released a programming tutorial aimed at a target audience of "absolute beginners".[5]
The tutorial used the AppJet IDE to provide a programming sandbox, allowing readers to experiment with sample code. This was one of the first online tutorials to embed an IDE, exposing a complete server-side web app framework inline with text.
Web software framework
[edit]"AppJet" refers to both the web application development platform and the server-side JavaScript framework that powers AppJet applications. This framework enables developers to code entire web applications using only one language, instead of having to use separate languages for server-side and client-side scripting.
Features
[edit]- Free app hosting[6] (discontinued)
- Persistent storage (up to 50 Mebibyte, MiB)[7]
- Online IDE[8]
- Custom domains[9]
- Forum[10]
Updates
[edit]A major update to the site was a graphical change implemented on July 10, 2008.[11]
