SeaGreen

SeaGreen is a desktop software application available for both Windows and Macintosh that allows web developers to create online forms. Database tables are automatically generated on the basis of the forms created.

Developed by ECI Software, Inc., SeaGreen is considered by many web developers to be the first of its kind, combining form design, database table creation, and an administration module within a single application.

Development
History
In 2005, Monique Stover, President and CEO of SeaGreen, began to see a need within the web development community for a desktop-based application that would create online forms with cojoined databases. To that point, users were required either to manually code their forms or to subscribe to web-based software to create such forms.

Releases
In February 2008, SeaGreen Version 1.0.0 was released to the public, available either as a download or on a CD.
Features
Five icons on the interface allow users to proceed through the form and database creation process sequentially:

* Step 1: Form Layout
A WYSIWYG editor allows the user to lay out the form much in the same way it will appear after publication.

* Step 2: Code Editor
CSS operates automatically in the background of SeaGreen. However, a user may edit the CSS if they wish.

* Step 3: Form Preview
One click allows the user to see the form as it will appear after publication.

* Step 4: Admin Module
The administration ("admin") module allow the user to designate field from the form as search parameters. This admin module manages the form's data.

* Step 5: Publish
An integrated FTP program allows users to publish the form within the SeaGreen environment.
