A few years ago, we published a post about the advantages of Joget Workflow and why everyone needed to pay attention to the platform. Back then, Joget Workflow was in its third edition and in the post, we talked about the key benefits offered by the v3.

And then a week or so later, the same friend forwarded another article titled, "Microsoft Bookings is a new Office 365 service for managing appointments" ( http://venturebeat.com/2016/07/20/microsoft-bookings-is-a-new-office-365-service-for-managing-appointments/ ) I definitely remembered asking my friend why is scheduling and resource bo...

I was kind of surprised to receive an email recently with the question, " What is a Joget Workflow app? " I had thought that we would have published enough information on our website and community knowledge base explaining what it is. After searching and crawling through our sites, the only reference I could find that explained what a Joget Workflow app is, was in another blog post titled, " Web App Development Methodology for The Citizen Developer (Infographic) ". We were so careful in taking care of the tree that we forgot about the forest. Ouch! Our bad! So here is an explanation with some recycled information. What is a Joget Workflow App?

At its core, the app consist of 2 XML definition files (app and process definition). These definition files are what the platform needs to render the app in an easy-to-use form. ...
