Elemental's Drumbeat 2.0
By Scott Clark
A publishing package that does HTML, DHTML, JavaScript and Databases--with no programming!
At this stage in the game, what most developers are looking for is a way to develop Web sites quickly, in an environment that supports the latest Web technologies, including-- but not limited to--HTML, DHTML, JavaScript, CSS, Java, ActiveX and of course, database support. Elemental Software, the creators of Drumbeat, have kept this in mind when they were developing this product. Walk through this review with me to see what Drumbeat 2.0 has to offer, and find out if you agree.

SmartElements are actually HTML and DHTML tags, ActiveX controls, Java applets, Scriptlets and other Web components. When you are creating Web pages using Drumbeat 2.0, you position the SmartElements on the page exactly as you want them to appear in the Web browser.
