Netscape AppFoundry Online is the enterprise developers' source for starter applications, technical information, tools, and expert forums for quickly building and dynamically deploying open intranet applications. Use the Netscape AppFoundry applications to prototype an intranet and develop full-blown production applications.

ONLINE INTRANET DEVELOPMENT SOLUTIONS
Netscape AppFoundry enables rapid deployment by providing the following components:

• Applications. This collection of reusable business applications, available at no charge, was developed by independent software vendors and systems integrators experienced in building and deploying mission-critical applications. These downloadable starter applications include: documented, commented source code; documentation; online help; and administrative functions in most cases. Because the apps are based on Netscape ONE technologies (Java, JavaScript, HTML, LiveConnect, and so on), they offer the following benefits:
• They can run on any platform.
• They can front-end most popular databases.
• They are easily modifiable to respond to changing needs.

Netscape will expand this collection of business applications on an ongoing basis.

• Development tools. This is a whole new class of powerful enterprise development tools for visually building complete intranet and Internet sites based on the Netscape ONE platform. These tools use open, cross-platform technologies such as Java, JavaScript, HTML, and Netscape Internet Foundation Classes. You can download free evaluation versions of the tools.
• Forums. This series of online discussion groups focuses on the applications, tools, and more. IS professionals and corporate developers can ask questions, discuss the applications, collaborate, and share information throughout the process of building cross-platform network applications.
• Resources. Here you'll find all the information you need for exploring Netscape ONE and finding solutions partners. The Resources area links to a searchable Netscape ONE Directory, product backgrounders, white papers, FAQs, and more.
