LATEST NEWS: Canoo Engineering AG just won this year’s W-JAX developer challenge with it’s online betting tool for the soccer world cup 2010 (Canoo Tippspiel >> CATS)!

.

The task of the W-JAX  Challenge was to develop a web app for betting on the 2010 FIFA world cup with a good looking UI, a strong and stable backend and some innovative usability features. The only restriction was that the framework should be running on the JVM. The winner was elected by the conference audience.

CATS is based on UltraLightClient, Canoo’s proven widget toolkit and framework for creating Rich Internet Applications in Java. The core idea of UltraLightClient is to run applications on a centrally controlled application server, like HTML based applications. Only an application-independent Presentation Engine runs on the desktop. Read more on Wikipedia!
