DreamFace supports all major web browsers, from Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 to the latest version of Google Chrome. However, during development using the DreamFace Studio, only the following browsers are supported for a better debugging experience:
- Google Chrome 10+
- Apple Safari 5+
- Mozilla Firefox 4+ with the Firebug Web Development Plugin
DreamFace is a Cloud Application Platform. There is no need to install a specific IDE or Server, the only tool required is a web Browser.
Note
DreamFace can also be installed in a private cloud.
A DreamFace Application is composed of several components:
- DataQueries: reusable elements are used to invoke web services and persist metadata
- DataWidgets: reusable elements used to display the data
- Screens: represent a web page or mobile screen in which are assembled DataWidgets according a specific layout.
A DreamFace application represent a simple or complex sequence of screens.
A DreamFace Server hosts all of your applications. Each application owns its own set of screens. However, DataWidgets and DataQueries are reusable components and are shared accross your applications.
