Buy the Full Version of WEB4J

Why should you buy a web app framework when so many open source tools are available for free? Good question. You should buy WEB4J for two very good reasons :
  • open source tools are causing you too much pain
  • open source tools aren't really "free" at all
Instead of paying up front, you simply pay later for open source tools, through their hidden costs:
  • first buying books, since their online documentation isn't the greatest ($40+)
  • then paying with your time in order to learn them ($2500+ for introductory courses on Spring)
  • then paying during development with longer delivery schedules ($200+ a day for a developer)

When you consider the total cost of ownership, open source web frameworks are a long-distance phone call away from being "free".

Given its low cost and high ease of use, it's significantly cheaper to buy WEB4J than to use open source tools.
