Wireframing was conceived and the first tool to accompany it was created by
Hal Helms. Hal's wireframe viewer was then amended by Lee Borkman. With much
help from Shane Johnson, Fusium has now released a new wireframe editor,
based on the needs of real-world, hardcore wireframing. Rebar is available
at http://fusium.com/go/rebar/.
A Rebar wireframe is a page-by-page, plain-text representation of what a
finished application will do. Devoid of techno-babble such as UML,
flowcharts, or data models, the wireframe is extremely fast to develop, is
readable by everyone, and answers the oft-overlooked question of what the
application needs to do.
Rebar works on both Solaris and Windows platforms, uses the FEX Integrated
Error Handling core (but can be replaced with the "standard" Fusebox core
and can be embedded in existing FB3 apps), and works for ColdFusion 5 and
ColdFusion MX.
Feature List:
1. Faster and simpler page editing
- No more scrolling one huge wireframe file
- Fast link and nested page entry system
- Wireframe sections broken into manageable pieces - no syntax needed
2. Powerful nested page functionality
- Embed "global navigation" and other pages into wireframe pages
- Modify nested pages once to reflect changes to all pages
3. Link wireframes together
- Large wireframes can be broken into smaller, sub-wireframes and linked
together
4. Starter prototype generator
- Make "builds" for clients of wireframe
- Manage editing access control
- Transition from wireframing to prototyping with one click
- Make new layout files to apply to generated prototype
5. Fully FB3-compliant
- Embed Rebar in your FB3 app
- Modify layout files for customized look
6. Lightweight
- No installation
- No DSNs/databases
- No mappings
- Unzip and go!
