FEAST Overview
FEAST – Framework for Enterprise Application and Supporting Tools – is a platform for developing distributed applications that comply to the requirements of todays enterprise grade software. A notable difference to other similar platforms currently on the market is that FEAST relies on Qt and C++, which combines operating system independence with high execution speed.
FEAST makes it possible to develop multi-user distributed client-server applications just as easy as Qt-based desktop applications. Developers can concentrate on the business requirements and still build applications that span the whole enterprise or even the Internet.
In addition FEAST makes it easy to provide and consume SOAP based web services.
