Plocit is a RIBA (Rich Internet Business Application) Framework to build web based GUIs quickly and easily. It greatly reduces the complexity of building web based software systems by moving the presentation layer to the client browser. Typically you can build the presentation layer aspect of your software system in a fraction of the time it will take to develop in other frameworks. The bulk of your development time will be spent developing server side components that implement your business and data layers.

Plocit wraps the plumbing around standard GUI components to give you the building blocks to create Rich Internet Business Applications quickly and easily. There are a number of Client Side Presentation Layer Frameworks available today however Plocit is optimised for RAD (Rapid Application Development) of business applications that manage data. When considering which technology to use consider that with Plocit you can have something working in minutes. For example you could embed a 3D multi-colour Bar Chart in a web page in less than 10 minutes from scratch.

You may have heard of Web 2.0. This is what some are calling the next generation Internet. See this article for a quick overview of the differences between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0. Plocit is a Web 2.0 technology.

Plocit is implemented as a Java Applet that you can embed in a web page on your website or in an application. You can use Plocit to create a user interface that is a hierarchical series of Folders and sub-Folders so your site visitor can drill down to the section of the application they are interested in. Within Folders you can incorporate Tabbed Windows that contain many kinds of data items. You can also use Plocit to present a single element such as a table.

Plocit could be used to build a GUI for all kinds of software that is either stand alone or a Rich Internet Business Application. Take a look at these example scenarios to get a feel for how and where you could use Plocit to your advantage. Website developers, System Integrators, Software Engineers could all use Plocit to reduce their development timescales and provide a better product to their customers and clients.
