Top Ten Reasons to Use Wakanda

There are hundreds, maybe thousands of reasons to use Wakanda. We've hammered out the top ten.

	Get one open and complete solution for all your Web and mobile business app development Wakanda is a fully integrated development environment that includes code and UI editors, datastore and server. You don’t need to pick and glue together separate pieces, like you would with a PHP/MySQL/Apache solution.
	Reduce your development efforts with MDA Lighten your development workload, achieve high levels of re-use, and decrease maintenance cost with Model Driven Architecture (MDA).
	Program your entire application with JavaScript from end to end The development platform allows you to uniquely program the entire stack needed for your application - client, datastore and server - with only one programming language: JavaScript.
	Increase your productivity with a full-featured WYSIWYG graphical designer Both the user interface and the data model of your application can be designed easily and intuitively with the powerful WYSIWYG designer included in Wakanda Studio. The GUI Designer furthermore has direct access to the data model.
	Enrich your UI and get the full power of HTML5 and CSS3 technology You no longer need to be an HTML5 or CSS3 expert to make beautiful apps. The Wakanda cllient framework (WAF) and the GUI designer will do the job for you.
	Design your application model with a NoSQL object datastore that natively speaks REST/HTTP and SSJS WakandaDB makes it intuitive to manipulate and store your application business objects. Unlike with SQL databases, there is no need to use an ORM layer. There is no hidden SQL generation. Wakanda natively understands the business logic.
	Extend development with additional widgets and server modules Easly extend the Wakanda client framework (WAF) by adding custom widgets, third party widgets or even other JavaScript frameworks. Enrich the development studio by adding your own functionalities, and extend server functionality with commonJS/NodeJS modules. It's wide open to you.
	Ensure your app's security at the model level by design When you define business rules in the WakandaDB Model , you apply the rules everywhere: the server, communication and client layer. Access can be managed atomically, with scopes and user rights, and includes support for the latest SSL/TLS encryption.
	Get full industry standard compliance: JSON, REST/HTTP Your Wakanda applications can easily interact with other technologies using industry standards. Your app's model can be accessed by any Ajax frameworks (e.g. Dojo, YUI, DHTMLX), native mobile apps (iOS, Android), or even other servers (e.g. PHP, .Net, Java, NodeJS, Python).
	Connect to any database with a fully open environment Wakanda's open source environment allows you to add connectors to your preferred databases. With the NodeJS-compliant socket APIs, you can leverage connectors developed by the community or add your own.
Bonus! We couldn't just stop ourselves at 10. Here are a couple more reasons too important to leave out.
	Get up and running fast with sample applications, code snippets, demos, and full documentation, and the large JavaScript/HTML/CSS3 ecosystem Rich documentation is available to help you kick start your development. In addition, you’ll find sample code, tips and tricks, and sample applications provided by an active community of peer developers.
	Easily deploy your applications over the Cloud (IaaS/PaaS) Wakanda is fully optimized for vertical scalability (multi-threaded, preemptive, thread-safe). You’ll be able to handle the increased usage of your applications by adding some cores and memory to your cloud platform.
