Create your iiziApp

The iiziGo environment makes it possible to develop iiziApps from either the UI side-first, or the data provider-first, or Java code-first, or any combination of these techniques. Your iiziGo allows both mobile-first or desktop browser oriented development. UI designers and UX professionals can also use the iiziGo to create the user interface without programming expert skills.

Module project and Project properties

Your new project is referred to as an iiziApp or/and iizi Module Project.

Your new iiziApp will appear in the iizi Explorer with the project’s folder structure already created for you.

Inside the VirtualSpaces folder you will find a default VirtualSpace named ‘mainVirtualSpace’.

The Panels package contains folders and a ‘mainPanel’ for each device: one for phone, tablet and desktop.

The iizi Explorer is used instead of the Eclipse Package Explorer because it is tailored for the iizi Platform. If you choose to enable additional connector plug-ins, there will be additional folders displayed in the iizi Explorer for the respective connector.
