Seeing another user's changes in nuBuilderPro.

We have added 2 icons to the Edit Form.


The icon on the right side can be clicked on to refresh the current Form.
AND if it turns red it means someone has edited it while you have been on it, hover over the icon and you will find out who!

To find out more on using these icons go to ..

nuBuilder Pro is Here!

After 12 months spent completely rewriting nuBuilder, we are now proud to present to the world nuBuilder Pro (version 3).

Here's the team that have got it done.


Clockwise from the top middle.

  • Jarad Anderson - The first developer to create a large nuBuilder Pro application (over the last 6 months) for a real customer (a transport company).
  • Me - Main designer and developer.
  • Shane Gelven - Maintaining Github and Youtube, creating initial css styles and redesigning www.nubuilder.net .
  • Ken Ear and Ben Ramsey (both currently studying engineering at The University of Adelaide) - development, bug fixing, documenting and creating video tutorials for nuBuilder.

You can find it in our github repository https://github.com/nuSoftware/nuBuilderPro .
Here's the link to documentation https://www.nubuilder.net/documentation.php ,
and here are some video tutorials http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2Insadu5fJ-KVb7TY2KZg .



Our focus will now be on the following 2 things..
  1. nuAdmin (a tool we will be offering as part of an online subscription hosting option we will be providing).
  2. A free MS Access to nuBuilder Pro convertion tool.

If you wondering what nuBuilder Pro is..

nuBuilder Pro a is tool for creating fast web-based business applications, using technologies such as PHP, Javascript, SQL, AJAX, jQuery and JSON.

It has all the components needed by a developer to build Forms and Reports and specify access levels for different users.

All customization done to a nuBuilder Application (including PHP and Javascript code) is stored in its database making it easy to backup and restore.

Unlike many other tools used to build web applications, which ‘develop’ on the desktop and “publish” it to the web, all nuBuilder development is done in the browser and is instantly available to the user. This makes it truly cloud based.

Most fully cloud based tools like nuBuilder are hosted on sites that cannot be moved. Allowing customisation but no real ownership. (A bit like buying furniture for your house, but not being able to take it with you when you leave.)

nuBuilder is Open Source so you can customize it all you need and host it wherever you want.

Tell the world!
