CodeCharge Studio is a rapid application development environment for creating web-based applications with minimal coding.[2] It is a code generator and templating engine that separates the presentation layer from the coding layer, with the aim of allowing designers and programmers to work cohesively in a web application (the model-view-controller design pattern).

CodeCharge utilizes point-and-click wizards for creating record and search forms, grids, and editable grids without the need for programming. Databases supported are MySQL, MS SQL Server, MS Access, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and all others that support web connectivity. CodeCharge can export into all major programing languages, such as ASP.NET, ASP, Java, ColdFusion, PHP, and Perl.[2][3]

CodeCharge is the first product released by Yes Software, after two years of development.[4]

Software

CodeCharge is based on an interactive user interface (UI) to create web applications.[5] Here are listed technologies which used, when the application is ready and running. Application generating technologies here are not discussed. A CCS generated project - without additional programming - is not a routed web sited (where everything routed i.e. through index.asp), but every page accessible by on its own name.

When generating code, CodeCharge automatically structures it, using naming conventions and comments to make the purpose of the code clear.[6]

OOP

The generated application is object oriented. Every structural element, like database connection, grid, navigation bar, the visible page itself etc are all objects.

Templating

Codecharge use html template pages to generate visible internet sites. Templates of web pages may be previewed before making it "live."[7] There are xxxx.html files, accordingly xxxx.asp (xxxx.php etc) code files and for server side events a separate xxxx_event.asp (xxxx.php etc) files.

Reception

In 2003, regarding the original version of CodeCharge Studio, Arbi Arzoumani of PHP Architect wrote:[5]

"For its price tag this code generation application is well worth it. One great application that I can see this being used for is creating prototypes of web applications in very short periods of time. In other words, last minute proposals."

In his review of CodeCharge Studio 2.0, Troy Dreier wrote in Intranet Journal, "CodeCharge Studio [allows] Web application developers [to] shave literally months off their development times."[8]

CodeCharge Studio 3.0 received a rating of 3.5 out of 5 from Peter B. MacIntyre of php|architect.[3]
