Creating web application using cloud-based friction-free databases without web hosting knowledge. User credentials are received at a web application service for initiating a web application task via client software. The user credentials are analyzed to determine whether to grant the user permission to initiate the requested web application task. The web application task is initiated when the permission is granted. Data associated with the initiated web application task is received at the web application service for analysis of the data to host and render a web application based solely on received data provided without basis of web hosting knowledge.

Creating web applications using cloud-based friction-free databases without requiring web hosting knowledge

A method is presented for editing and saving a web page at a client based web-page editor. A rendered web page is received from a server computer and displayed at a web-page editor on the client computer. The client computer identifies one or more customizable web parts on the web page and also identifies one or more shared templates that are associated with the customizable web parts. Each identified shared template is copied as an overriding template. A data view of one or more web parts is edited, causing one or more of the overriding templates associated with the web part to be modified. When the edited changes are saved, the client computer sends a message to the server computer. The message includes the portions of the overriding templates that are modified as a result of the edited changes to the web page.

Use of overriding templates associated with customizable elements when editing a web page

Embodiments are provided to create and manage data view modules for updating data on a web page, without having to reload the entire web page to view the updated data. In one embodiment, a static data view module for viewing web data is modified utilizing an asynchronous update function which provides asynchronous update behavior for the data view module. The asynchronous update function enables the data view module to automatically update data displayed in a data view independently of data displayed in other static data views which may be present in a web page and which may only be updated by reloading the entire web page. In another embodiment, application programming interfaces (APIs) may be provided in the modified data view module which, when exposed, facilitate the building of customized data views by providing asynchronous update behavior for customized data view modules in a web page.
