You can download the free version to learn the paradigm. you wouldnt use it for small application.
#MAGIC ENGINE REGISTERED VERSION CODE#
a lot of the common programming tasks like IO, SQL command.etc is handled by the tool and is transparent ( so even less code to write since we use it in almost all types of applications). The newer version is much easier to use and it is still very RAD in the sense that there is little or no code you write. I've been developing it from Magic version 8.x to eDeveloper 9.x to 10.x then renamed to UniPAAS. This is the old name used and its a completely different paradigm like some of you mentioned. The only way to use them is to set them up as a UniPaaS application. You must also understand that developers never use those files (they are undocumented AFAIK), they are only the storage format used internally by UniPaaS. But the files are pretty big: the smallest xml file I have in a test app is 4000 bytes, and any application is made of at least 11 files, an empty application is 7600 bytes. I could send you an example, if PachinSV does not answer you before.
The last version, UniPaas stores the code in xml files. Previous versions stored the "code" inside a database table. The learning curve is quite steep, you must learn a lot of things before being able to write a little application. This is probably why so many people never manage to use Magic properly: if you thought like Magic before learning about it, then you will adapt to it easily but if you have a long and successful experience using other database development tools, then often the Magic paradigm will never become natural to you. The applications are interpreted, not compiled.Īs PachinSV said, when developing, you must follow UniPaaS' way of doing things. Programming in this RAD does not look like anything else I know, you mostly don't write code as with usual languages, but it is nearly impossible to explain just with words. This RAD is dedicated for database applications. If you can post some sample code it would be most helpful as well.Ĭould this site be it? Though it links back to the page above.Īs PachinSV explained, there is a RAD once called Magic, then eDeveloper, now UniPaaS. Is it still a better RAD tool than current.I saw several claims on the internet that it provided really fast application development, similar to claims made by RoR proponents when it came out.
I was interested in learning more about it from it's practitioners, rather than the company. However other material on the site indicates that this is the new name for it. I think this is the site for it though I am not sure, as it mentions uniPaaS instead of magic. I couldn't find any code examples, and wikipedia didn't have any information on it either. I did some googling and couldn't find much information about it. It was mentioned that it is a programming language from Israel. I have recently heard about Magic programming language from several sources and didn't recall ever hearing about it before.
